I don't like treating microsoft as the enemy, every corporate has their own agenda and that is something to be weary of. But MS has in recent months started to turn around to FOSS. This is person dependent however (the classic example is Ray Ozzie = Good, supportive, Steve Balmer = Raving Loon who can't grasp the (g)new strategic environment microsoft is operating in).
