We should view MS with scrutiny due to their history (trying to compete and kill Linux; the SCO bullshit, etc.), but they are the underdog in this particular case and the market has changed quite a bit. I wouldn't think of Microsoft holistically.
That being said, this isn't the underdogs vis big players. These are big players, taken on other bigger players, and just kinda incidentally helping a lot of the smaller players ... for now .. but this could just as easily turn again if one of them gets back on top.
