Not surprised, as developer time is expensive. At the same tie, I find it funny and contradictory that many on HN complain about Microsoft's stuff not being OSS.
- CmonDev 12y agoI am a Microsoft fan, but I hate when those bastards kill their products leaving people using them without real alternatives, for example: Silverlight and XNA. XNA is now re-written as an OSS _from scratch_ by very kind people (MonoGame), so even if it falls out of fashion, you could fix bugs yourself.
- _pmf_ 12y ago"Paid service" does not imply "not OSS", however.
