Microsoft To Open Source Some of Silverlight 204
Kurtz writes with word that Microsoft is about to follow in Adobe's footsteps by releasing the source code to part of its Silverlight technology. The news comes less than a week after Adobe announced plans to open source the Flex SDK. Microsoft is hungry to build the developer base for its rich Internet app tools, if it can.

Read this article http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2123859,00.as p [eweek.com] as it's a bit more interesting. The open source bits are the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) and the IronPython language. The DLR sits on top of .NET, so if you are using Mono and IronPython, then I would assume that you would then have all the source from top to bottom.
The MS stuff is here http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython [codeplex.com]
This time I even checked my links :-)

Wow, I'm not sure how you fault Apple in this regard. They actually shipped TPM enabled machines for some time, but never used the TPM in their OS or software, only opening it up for developers interested in doing encryption with it and eventually dropping it due to lack of interest. They did implement EFI, but there is no indication of using it for trusted computing either only for a modern replacement to BIOS.
