So in short, the MS contributions where for MS product
While no one really contributes to the kernel or other FOSS code for unselfish reasons, MS only contribution apears to be an update to the minimal code provided to make Linux based platforms run better under Microsoft's virtualization. I'd give them more credit if it was voluntary contributions to more general areas rather than one's meant to maintain Windows dominance. We'll see what MS latest "we love Open Source" anouncement actually results in though as one of the promises is code and information related to more general code areas. I'm personally open to the idea of a newer more resonsible fair-competition Microsoft, but I need to see ongoing actions not just marketing sound bites.
