I would imagine that there will eventually be some kind of decomplier. But since all the new MS languages (with the exception of unmanaged C++) compile down to the same IL(theoretically), who knows what it will decompile to? My guess is that it will be more of a dissasembler that breaks the IL down into something human more readable, but probably not source code. -Mik

Linux is no longer a "hobbyist" OS. In case you haven't heard recently, real companies with real partners are developing the bulk of Linux now. Many projects, such as Gnome, are being developed under the scrutiny of standards commitees. Just because an operating system comes with software that was written by "hobbyist" programmers does not make it a "hobbyist's" OS. There are many programs written by these hobbyist for Windows... It's called Shareware and Freeware. :-
