Julie Lerman has enlightened me to some extremely exciting news for a .NET geek like myself:

Scott Guthrie's announcement that Microsoft is releasing the Source Code for the .NET Framework Libraries!

While I myself am really looking forward to peeking under the hood, a former colleague of mine reacted a bit differently. He seemed to be happier not knowing what's going on inside the soon-to-be former black box. To quote:

<cynical>So now I get to step into the code and know exactly why it doesn't work and exactly why I can't fix it?</cynical>

I spit my coffee all over my keyboard this morning because of that statement.
