When a company best known for quashing competitors using very questionable means, whose modus operendi for years was to take other people's products and change it into their own thing (Java -> C#, for example), and one which loudly opposed Open Source, starts donating money, well, maybe they've had a shocking change of heart. Or, maybe there's some other reason. That said, there's more and more evidence accumulating that Microsoft seems to have had a change of heart. I had a gut feeling I would like the new CEO. So far, so good.
