Microsoft learns to live with open source
Learn to live with it? They've been learning to live with it for a while now. All the worthy open source applications have been available for Windows for some time. But as always, we all like a kinder, gentler Microsoft which likes to cooperate with other companies and their community. The same can't be said for another OS who's only purpose is to bash and hate on Microsoft and not work with others.
