[News] Microsoft Tries to Suck Up to Open Source Companies

The "it's not us versus them" meme

| I really don't know, and I don't want to impugn anyone's motives. I

| suggesting that this is not "us versus them." Not because it's not
| true (it may or may not be), but because its representatives feel 
| the need to repeat this over and over and over again. In what way(s)
| can this possibly be in its interests? What goals does it hope to
| accomplish? What threats is it hoping to hold off?

After their blatantly anti-Linux/OSS campaigns, the explicit legal warnings,
the Halloween Memos etc. this seems like a case of Microsoft giving up and
trying the Trojan horse approach. Disgraceful.
