  Interesting... .NET has always been close-sourced and MS guards it as closely as their OS...
  
  Might be the upcoming competition against Adobe that forced them to do odd things.
  
  On a good side, this means more apps will be better developed and not running into funny errors that no humans can understand except MS developers.
  
  On the other hand, read their EULA carefully... MS EULAs are a bit odd.

  Nope.
  
  .NET is also used to write programs. It's a framework, sort of like some libraries. Can be used to write a lot programs.
