While <A href="http://www.sun.com/" target="_blank">Sun</A>, <A href="http://ibm.com" target="_blank">IBM</A>, other platform providers, and ISVs clearly see the open source community as a complimentary codebase to their products, Microsoft tends to use the best and brightest work from the community space as a feature map for .Net.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://elegantcode.com/?p=539">When rolling something from the community into the .Net platform or tools, please add value above that of the original community solution.  It is not enough to simply bake it in and consider that the value proposition. We all know how to include assemblies in our projects, thank you very much. Merely including something in the CLR so that we don’t have to link in an outside assembly is a poor excuse for success.  You owe something more to the people who built the original solution.  Make it better. Make it rock.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B1D11425-2631-4659-AC16-3213E36434B0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
