- Once you are used to lambda expresions, it is relative easy to read.
- Since every test is in it's own class, tests can't conflict with each other.
- Every test statement (It) is named and run even when another test statement failes.
- Everything in the class should be static, since the use of anonymous functions.
- Can be difficult to get started.

6 Person person = ObjectSpace.CreateObject<Person>();
7 Assert.NotNull(person);

The main advantages xUnit.Net has are:
- Every test is performed isolated, for every test method a new instance of the object is created.
- The test runner is very fast, tests are run in different threads, multiple at a time.
- Can use the constructor for common setup and IDisposable for teardown. (Setup and teardown contain logic that is run before and after each test. other frameworks use the [Setup] and [Teardown] attributes)
Although I like MSpec very much, I am going to dump it for xUnit.net. With xUnit.net I don't have to think about making my members static.
