<blockquote>'I know it's very, very hard for some of you to believe it, but Microsoft really and truly is well on its way to becoming an open-source company.

..

Open source has become the dominant development paradigm. While people used to talk about open source and free software in terms of religion or cancer, depending on which side you were on, the real reason open source has won is that it makes hard financial sense.

..

So it is that almost every technology company, including Microsoft, is shifting over to open source for its development.'
