Now people can look : at the very heart of the .NET architecture, the CLI and the : C# compiler and they can see themself how MS code is : advancing the state of the art. I think it's more like there is a state of the art, and MS is capable of making that state visible and, in a particular way, usable. Also, it appears that it is not the source for the shipping MS binaries that you will see. From the article by Stutz: * There are significant differences in implementation between this code and the code for Microsoft's commercial CLR implementation, both to facilitate portability and to make the codebase more approachable. (Might I throw in that .NET has "pre-competitive" (MS) and not completely non-competitive (pre)cursors outside of Microsoft?)
