.NET Framework Library Source Code now available

For those of you who might have missed the announcement Microsoft has made the source of the .NET Framework available.  It is released under a reference license, so do not expect to go create your own version, however if you ever wanted to step debug into the .NET framework code you can now.

You must have Visual Studio Professional 2008 for this to work, but then we all got that at the InstallFest last month, didn't we?  Detailed instructions for adding the symbols is available here.

It even works on my 64 bit workstations (pay close attention to the note on the qfe download for 64 bit). 

Pretty Cool...
