Wow, this is impressive. Does this mean the .Net framework is next?

They've released it under "MICROSOFT REFERENCE SOURCE LICENSE (MS-RSL)" some time ago, but I'm not sure what the future plan is.

You can view and download the whole .NET source here: http://referencesource.microsoft.com/

That is awesome. What about the CLR VM?

The most enticing feature of C# is the .NET Framework, and if Microsoft fully open sourced the .NET Framework it could start a cross compatible version of the framework. This would be a dream come true for a software developers who like C#/opensource.
