Phils latest point is a cracker . Microsoft cannot for a lot of reasons bundle OSS and if they do what harm would it pose to OSS projects left out in the cold. If Microsoft had chosen to not write its own test framework, I fear they would have chosen NUnit over MbUnit simply because it’s more well known or for political reasons. Such a choice would have the potential to hurt a project like MbUnit in the never ending competition for users and contributors. It's worth adding that Charlie and the NUnit guys and me and the MbUnit team are not in this to out do each other. Each project treads a different path and while we have some goals that are the same, each project has different paths. If nothing else the two teams are looking to co-op more on things such as reporting formats to make life easier for our users and applying the frameworks to CI tools etc. A bundle of this kind would have adverse effects on the MbUnit user base as much as a MbUnit bundle would damage NUnit, ZaneBug and CsUnit.
