Microsoft`s Open Source Subsidiary Releases First Deliverable (Redis)

Last time I dealt with them, there was no documented way to write to a constantly-growing mmaped file (unless you knew its size already). All the workarounds I tried ended in segfaults :/.

Codeplex supports Mercurial, Team Foundation Server or Subversion and Git.<p>Microsoft recently posted the source for _parts_ of ASP.NET (minus web forms) on codeplex.<p>(just curious, not trying to troll.)
