There are several new things in this release: generics implementation; Lightweight Code Generation; stub-based dispatch support; new reflection and reflection emit; new C# features like Anonymous Methods, Anonymous Delegates and Generics.”

Yep. This is definately better than version 1.0
Regents of the Old Republic? I didn’t think this was a gaming site!
Seriously, though, my best guess is it’s a .NET VM (or code manager, or interpreter, or whatever). Am I close?
Not close at all. It’s the source code for the .Net framework (most of it at least), along with code for a C# compiler, and a clisp compiler. I haven’t sifted through it yet, though I am disappointed that it only compiles on WinXP (whereas the 1.0 rotor release compiled on Windows/OSX/BSD).
