As anyone who has used .Net knows, it's a nice programming environment with
good APIs.
Here is one more thing to make me more likely to choose it for future
projects. Microsoft has announced that they'll be including source code for
.Net.

If source were available for Cocoa and QuickTime and various other APIs, I
can think of dozens of times over the past year where I wasted one or more
days due to poorly documented, buggy, or incomplete APIs from Apple.
In almost every case, access to the source code for DEFINITIVE documentation
(code) would have allowed me to spend my time on something productive
instead.
In the few times I've had a chance to use WebKit, the source has proved
invaluable to tracking down strange bugs.
