Microsoft is the OpenSource godfather

[Omar Mohamed]

I guess this was discussed before , the question is whether Microsoft
TRULY supports opensource or not, I support them if they do. I believe
Microsoft is doing this to improve its image,  I might start
supporting them if they release the source code of their common
software (not Windows).
