My first thought was, &quot;This is a trick. Have they found a way to
&quot;embrace and extend&quot; the open source development model?&quot; But
that was a very interesting blog entry. The guy seems sincere.

I'm not sure Microsoft is capable of producing anything that
doesn't suck though, open-source or no.
