Pure nonsense. Every time MS appears to make amends for its hostile actions towards FOSS/Linux, there always turns out to be a string attached or a hidden agenda of some kind. This is no different. What MS wants in its view of a perfect world, is open source all running on Windows instead of Linux, and Linux being completely marginalized other than a shackled minion like Novell/Suse that MS can use like a prop to deflect antitrust issues while continuing to float it's patent IP FUD.

#2: Obvious? I doubt you'd get the same analysis from some of the AW microbots here. Some would have you believe that every press release from MS is the shining truth, MS is always aboveboard and ethical, etc etc ad nauseum.
