Open Source at Microsoft

[anandk]

TODAY Microsoft took another step in its relationship with the open source software community. We did this by bringing up a new web property that clearly outlines Microsoft’s position on OSS by providing specific information about Microsoft, the OSS community and the interaction between the two. The new site also details information about getting started with OSS and Microsoft technologies. ...

Everyone knows that. M$ is like our leaders. They want to benefit even from a dying man.

Like I read on their web page (I know only what I saw on their page and have NOT researched the whole story like people here usually do) that they asked Mozilla for Vista support or thing like that and now FF and other Mozilla brands will support WMA.

There is not even a clue what FF gets.
