We're talking about cognitive dissonance here.
If Microsoft hadn't put out "Microsoft loves open-source" statements, then all this would be treated as business as usual.
However MS did. So people are dealing with the dissonance. Some people are being remembered how the strategy Embrace, Extend and Extinguish works.
TL;DR: the attitude MS is having is not open-source friendly.
NOTE: at least today they did state their plans from the start. Props to them.
