      <title>Microsoft Releases .Net Framework Source ... and Receives Criticism</title>
      <description>So if you're up on Microsoft or .Net, you've probably heard by now that Microsoft is going to release the source to the .Net Framework. I see this as a positive step and think it can only help .Net developers not just support, but understand what they're working with. Anyone curious enough about .Net has been decompiling .Net source via Reflector for quite a while now (I know I have). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dotnetkicks.com/kick/?url=http%3a%2f%2fblogs.ittoolbox.com%2fwindows%2falex%2farchives%2fmicrosoft-releases-net-framework-source-and-receives-criticism-19498"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.dotnetkicks.com/Services/Images/KickItImageGenerator.ashx?url=http%3a%2f%2fblogs.ittoolbox.com%2fwindows%2falex%2farchives%2fmicrosoft-releases-net-framework-source-and-receives-criticism-19498" border="0" alt="kick it on DotNetKicks.com" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

      <title>Why is .NET getting its ass kicked in social media?</title>
      <description>Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, but does it seem like .NET is getting blown out by PHP, JAVA, and even Ruby in terms of presence in social media outlets? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dotnetkicks.com/kick/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.ajaxninja.com%2f%3fp%3d168"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.dotnetkicks.com/Services/Images/KickItImageGenerator.ashx?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.ajaxninja.com%2f%3fp%3d168" border="0" alt="kick it on DotNetKicks.com" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
