Microsoft isn't "one" entity - it's many, many teams. Those teams that create a product are naturally invested in its success. We have lots of 3rd party software that runs on our platforms - we're a platform company. We have lived in this co-opetition space for a long, long time. Agreed, it's the same in IBM, with many teams and many realities. I mentioned Microsoft's interest (in terms of resources allocated and overall strategy) even if it's orthogonal to the issue at hand because I think that, while not a deal breaker, this aspect can become an aggravating factor if the project is not able to attract sustainable contributions from the community.
