For decades, companies have been running their software on their own infrastructure. Software + Service is a new delivery model where companies pay, not for owning the software itself, but for using it. In this scenario, the software provider is responsible for its availability (maintenance, scalability, disaster recovery, etc.,) and gets paid for the same.Delivering software as a service has gained a lot of momentum. One reason, this one-to-many delivery model, is attractive, is that, it enables new economies of scale.Come listen to some scenarios where S+S would be the way to go.

.Net Source Code To be Released

Hi Devs,
Its very very hard to believe, but its true Microsoft is going to Release .Net Source Code.

Info From Jim Galasyn’s Blog

We are releasing the source code for .NET Framework base class libraries under the Microsoft Reference License, and the source code will be downloadable and viewable by anyone who accepts the license agreement.
In addition, Microsoft will introduce a capability in Visual Studio 2008 to allow you to debug into the .NET Framework source code using Visual Studio. With this capability, when you are stepping through code, you will be able to step into the source code for the .NET base class libraries.
This release will include the Base Class Libraries (BCL), Windows Forms, ASP.NET, System.Data, and WPF. BCL includes many of the basic classes in the framework including collections, string and text handling, IO,serialization, remoting, and others. We plan to include additional libraries into the set as time goes on.

The Great Info is the Source Codes are included with Comments…..Check ScottGu’s Article
