Let me be the devil's advocate and say that while I welcome Microsoft acknowledgment that OSS is worthy of concern for their bottom line; I will also recognize Microsoft role in making what OSS (and GNU/Linux specifically) is today. Had it not been for Microsoft (and IBM) we may not have had the PCs and Open Source Software.
