In case you missed the link on Slashdot, here is the Wall Street Journal on Rotor, Microsoft's "shared source" release. This piece is focused on Rotor as a play for a piece of the academic research world. It quotes MS' Dave Stutz: MS is investing "in the place where a lot of innovation comes from," academia; and MS' research director Rick Rashid: MS wants a "fair chance" of having compsci students educated in their products.
All in all, the article's tone suggests that while shared source is leaps and bounds past what they've done before, Microsoft still has an uphill path in their attempts to get mindshare in the university.
Academics, would you use Rotor in the classroom?
