Microsoft .Net Libraries Not Acting "Open Source"

figleaf writes "Three years ago, with much fanfare, Microsoft announced it would make some of the .Net libraries open source using the Microsoft Reference License. Since then Microsoft has reneged on its promise. The reference code site is dead, the blog hasn't been updated in a year and a half, and no one from Microsoft responds to questions on the forum."

At the Microsoft site, nobody responds to your questions.

At the SourceForge site, someone responds to your questions with, "You have the code, figure it out yourself, asshole."

Worlds of difference, you see.

I agree. Sounds to me like they've fully embraced the Open Source mindset. They probably have to get rid of 75% of their documentation though.
