Ive been reading about this, but like all previous M$ attempts at contributing to open source, I am skeptical. With that, my natural reaction is to avoid prompting anything that suggests M$ is helping GPL Software. In the past, Microsoft has alleged that open source technology infringes on over 200 of its patents. Now they want to be friends. I will believe it when I see it.
