Why are people from Microsoft looking into Linux (unix?) servers that try to emulate their services? One might think to cause reputation damage, but that sounds almost like a conspiracy theory to me... so then why do they do this effort? Edit: and the downvotes are because..?

  It was probably discovered by accident when trying to get stuff working.

  Well, MS contributes to Samba http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-contributes-open-source-code-to-samba/ http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-contributes-open-sour... MS seems to have a financial incentive in having, at least, the file sharing part of samba working. Its probably too important to ignore, and at the time, samba was how OSX talked to Windows. I imagine making Samba work was also a move to keep OSX server from becoming an enterprise competitor. Also, I think research and netsec departments in large companies have their own priorities. Why is google finding MS vulnerabilities? I imagine a lot of this is whatever scratches the researcher's itch.

  Microsoft's attitude towards open source is no longer adversarial. They also contribute to Mono...

  Microsoft products interact daily with several open source and third party interoperable systems. Welcome to 2015 :)

  They're looking into Linux servers that try to emulate their services because we do a hell of a lot of interop work together, to make sure all consumer devices and networks 'just work'. And I'm very grateful for it !
