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."

Re:This should have been seen from the start

Let me get this straight: nothing happened for a year and a half, and that's news?

It depends, has Netcraft confirmed it?

.Net for Mono at your peril.

I posted the comment one year ago that developing in .NET for a Mono target was not prudent, and there was some risk. The post was marked as troll and buried. I presume the MS moderaters here are not in attendance so this one might survivie.
