Microsoft on open source

David Strom takes a look at Microsoft's inner workings, especially as it relates to open source.

One of the heads of open-source development there had this to say: "I don’t want you to love me, I just want you to buy more of my software."

Perhaps the quote is out of context, but to me it's a good encapsulation of where Microsoft's focus lies. See Chapter 9 of Bit Literacy for some supporting thoughts.
