Microsoft "CodePlex is an online software development environment for open and shared source developers to create, host and manage projects throughout the project lifecycle. It has been written from the ground up in C# using .NET 2.0 technology with Team Foundation Server on the back end. CodePlex is open to the public free of charge." Microsoft goes open source, and it also launches pay-as-you-go computers.

The interface looks nice. But for every decent open source project there are hundreds of crap ones. Is MS just showcasing their .net tools or are they offering this for a reason? Would they like to see some ambition for developing open source windows apps that don't suck? I don't understand. But the project in certainly interesting.
