Not so long ago Microsoft announced that the VS 2008 final release will give us the ability to download the code for the .NET 3.5 libraries and use it for debugging and reference. This is undoubtedly one of my highlights of the upcoming release.
Having the implementation details of libraries available is something open-source projects take for granted and Microsoft is certainly learning from the free-as-in-speech movement. The tight integration with the debugger is certainly a very useful addition, allowing you to see what’s happening in the black box. Don’t you just love poking around other peoples’ houses?
