In March 2002, Microsoft released version 1.0 of the '''Shared Source Common Language Infrastructure''', also called '''Rotor'''.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2002/03/04/rotor.html | title = Uncovering Rotor — A Shared Source CLI | publisher = On .Net | first = Brian | last = Jepson | date = 2002-03-04 | accessdate = 2009-09-27}}</ref> The Shared Source CLI was initially pre-configured to run on [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], but could also be built on [[FreeBSD]] (version 4.7 or newer), and [[Mac OS X]] 10.2. It was designed such that the only thing that needed to be customized to port the Shared Source CLI to a different platform was a thin [[Abstraction layer|Platform Abstraction Layer]] (PAL).

The last 2.0 version of SSCLI was released in March 2006,<ref>{{cite web | url= http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=8c09fd61-3f26-4555-ae17-3121b4f51d4d | title= Shared Source Common Language Infrastructure 2.0 Release | publisher= [[Microsoft]] | date= 2006-03-23 | accessdate = 2009-05-21}}</ref> and contains most of the classes and features of version 2.0 of the [[.NET Framework]].<ref>{{cite web | url= http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/kristoferkrause/GuidetoMSsharedSourceCLI11302005232759PM/GuidetoMSsharedSourceCLI.aspx | title=A Beginner's Guide to Microsoft's shared Source CLI (Rotor) | publisher = C# corner| last= Krause|first= Kristofer | date = 2003-05-13 | quote= Most of the .NET framework class libraries are present except for ADO.NET, Windows Forms, Web Forms, and Web Services.
