WTL终于成为了一个Open Source项目。

昨天，WTL的创造者Nenad Stefanovic将最新的WTL版本7.5.4133放到了SourceForge.net上。这是继Wix之后的第二个由微软贡献的开放源代码项目。
可以说MS走出这一步，真的很不容易。从2003年4月12日MS的Pranish Kumar发mail说WTL将会开放到2004年5月12日真的走出这一步，耗时13个月。

另外听说WindowsXP的盗版用户也可以安装即将推出的SP2，MS的Barry Goffe说："It was a tough choice, but we finally decided that even if someone has pirated copy of Windows, it is more important to keep him safe than it is to be concerned about the revenue issue."

无论怎样，看上去MS变得更加灵活和开放，他们对社会的贡献度变得更大。
