"Microsoft has released part of its .NET Framework - the part for internet-connected smart devices - into the open-source community. [...] But don't get too excited. You won't be getting the full .NET Micro Framework stack, as Microsoft's open-source code donation will lack the TCP/IP stack and cryptography libraries."

"Internet-enabled smart devices" without TCP nor security: this is epic.
