Microsoft working on Open Source ?

Here�s an interesting read. Looks like Microsoft�s Sleeping with the Enemy !

ââ?¬Å?An investigative report into the Linux lab at Microsoft has revealed some interesting twists to Microsoftââ?¬â?¢s often stormy relation ship with the world of Open Source Software (OSS).

The lab, which opened last September, is run by Bill Hilf, a former programmer for IBM. Originally, it was set up to ââ?¬Å?help Microsoft understand the phenomenon of open source software and improve our products because of that.ââ?¬? But over time, the role of the lab has changed, from merely wanting to understand the ââ?¬Å?enemyââ?¬? towards a tentative effort to working with them.ââ?¬?
