.Net Micro Framework将开源，这对长期工作在Windows平台的嵌入式开发爱好者应该是个好消息，不仅license免费，而且所有的代码将开源。
.Net Micro Framework和其它嵌入式系统最大的优势就是应用程序开发调试简单，想想看对一个提供嵌入式产品的公司来说，一旦前期的平台定制完成，余下的应用程序的开发将是非常容易的事，想想看，对水平不高不低的嵌入式开发人员真是一个冲击，因为一个C#程序员就可以开发嵌入式应用了。
总之开源是个好事情，是微软的英明之举，目前该工作正在有条不紊的进行之中... ...

Following the move of the .NET Micro Framework team to the Developer Division of Microsoft we are planning on involving the community in the future definition and development of the product by allowing access to the source code of the runtime and object model, as well as the drivers. We are currently in the process of framing the rules of engagement and we hope to be able to offer both a process for a regulated development effort and a broad license, so that it will be possible to take advantage of the code base without necessarily contributing to the community. The details and the rules of this engagement will be defined over the near term with your involvement as well.
The evolution of the core code will be managed to insure small size, good performance, quality and consistency. The .NET Micro Framework team will provide the initial guidance and the necessary tools to facilitate the contribution of code at all levels of the stack. With the community participation, we are looking at creating an arbitration process to drive the evolution of the product and the development activity. Stay tuned for the official announcement and please provide us with your thoughts through the usual channels.
