> Although it's supported by Microsoft, it's heavily influenced by the Open-Source community. Isn't it developed by an external studio in switzerland which just happend to be attatched with microsoft? I always got the impression this independance from the old Redmond-Cancer is a main reason why it could propsper so well. By which I mean that in Redmond there seems to be some gangwars going on between the different departments, projects and generations of developers, which in external Studios seems to mostly non-existent. There was also that studio in israel which seem to propser quite well. Maybe Microsoft is accidently a perfect example for diversity in culture working out beneficial with software-projects?
