If they want their development tools to be the tools to develop with and they want Windows to be the platform to deploy solutions on (open source and otherwise), then they need to consider, very carefully, how they expect to achieve that. You’ve got to do more than release open source software . . .

Looks like my comment didn't make it through - hopefully Gavin won't axe it from here too :)

Microsoft funds Apache:

Microsoft contributes to jQuery and gives 24 hour support of the product:

Microsoft puts dashCommerce and other OSS apps on ASP.net:

Microsoft gives dashCommerce an MSDN license:

If you need something in particular I’m sure you can ask them for it. From what I hear they’re fairly open.
