In April Microsoft made news when it became a top-twenty contributor to the Linux kernel. The Redmond giant contributed over 20,000 lines of code in support of Hyper-V. This was a striking turn around. Remember, Microsoft’s CEO once described Linux as a "cancer".

Although it contributed over twenty thousand lines of code, the Internets are now abuzz over a single line of code in hv/hv.h line 45 [1]:

  #define HV_LINUX_GUEST_ID_HI 0xB16B00B5

...

So now Linux is "sexy" =)
