.NET Source Code to be Released
Wow. While this is awesome and all, I wonder how many hours of productivity will be lost, collectively speaking. Think about it, some winforms control starts acting funny … not doing what you expect. I guarantee that tons of people are going to be debugging into the .NET framework libs to see if the bug is in there. And I can almost certainly guarantee that Microsoft’s code is less buggy than yours 
This is definitely an interesting move, but probably not as exciting as most people think it is … because really, any time you spend stepping through their code, is time wasted.

Released? The announcement you link to talks about releasing the code later this year (2008). No wonder their code is less buggy than yours if you pay less attention to the details
But seriously, I expect most of the basic WinForm controls be light wrappers for the Win32 ones, only higher level stuff, e.g. DataGrid and friends would be in System.WinFroms. WPF/System.Windows, on the other hand, will be interesting – even though that a lot of the actual drawing and behavior happens in Whatever.Presentation.dll…
