They day I read their massive open source release announcements I knew that MS is from now on not the same company it was. Mahatma Gandhi supposedly said: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." Which I think is very applicable to MS attitude to open source. Now they have a new attitude: If you can't beat'm, join'm.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they embrace you, then they extend you, then they extinguish you.
