Microsoft to release more source code? | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

Microsoft is considering the release of source code for a popular tool used to build Windows programs. In a blog posting last week, Shawn Burke, a development manager at Microsoft's Windows Forms team, floated the idea of releasing the source code to Windows Forms to its developer customers. Windows Forms is a programming model used with Microsoft's Visual Studio tools to build the user interface portion of Windows desktop applications. Burke made clear that open sourcing Windows Forms is under consideration, but that no decisions have been made. He said that the idea faces hurdles, including legal issues, security and cost, and that the move is not universally supported within Microsoft. But at the same time, Burke noted that other teams within the developer division are working on projects to make code available as well. | ||
