Yups. They day I read their massive open source release announcements I knew that MS is from now on not the same company it was.
Mahatma Gandhi supposedly said: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." Which I think is very applicable to MS attitude to open source.
Now they have a new attitude: If you can't beat'm, join'm.
