What Exactly Does One Do With “Oslo”? - Kraig Brockschmidt

As Microsoft's program manager in charge of the "Oslo" Developer Center on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/oslo), you'd naturally have every reason to expect that I wholly "get" what all this "Oslo" stuff is about. After all, I acquire, publish, and manage the DevCenter content that's intended to tell the "Oslo" story.

I must confess that this is actually not the case, at least not yet. Frankly, I still ask myself—quite often, in fact—just what's it's all for and what, in fact, someone really does with it--with the whole of it. Like many people, I can see how certain pieces like the "M" toolchain are useful in and of themselves (writing nifty languages and such), but when you start talking CLR and UML domains or "middle-tier" applications, I'll listen politely while trying to pretend my eyes aren't going glassy.
