Embracing OSS also started under Ballmer. But also especially with Scott Guthrie, and his role as a leader for the future Micrsoosoft developer platform . I don't know if Guthrie hired the likes of Scott Hanselman, Phil Haack, Mads Kristensen etc. But they have IMO made a huge impact, but internally and externally for the OSS push. It's a big corporation and internally the fights had been big, becasue a lot of people don't understand how to sell free software. Just to give an example.
