This is great news, Microsoft has released the source code of two different tools.  One allows developers to compare different sets of CRM customizations for changes.  This is a tool our development teams have been wanting for a while and just haven’t gotten around to building for ourselves.  The second tool allows for the movement of configuration data from one system to another.  Check them both out at the MSDN link below.
