This is indeed good news. At least GPLv2 is not a "virus" according
to _some_ people in MicroSoft.

Now, if only they submit some of their patents to OIN (open invention
network) so that:

 1. Mono/.Net and Moonlight/Silverlight can gain wider adoption.
 2. Vfat can actually be used on all portable devices.
 3. Document formats for office use can converge.

If they do this we might even find them more friendly than some other
computer giants.

Just like the Hyper-V driver provides compatability _and_ thus
improves the chances for people to continue to use Windows, so will
the above actions provide a net gain for MicroSoft.

Or perhaps I am dreaming!

Kapil.
