Yep and they will state its theirs!!!!
Remember the battle that a company made trying to charge millions to the giants cause they were using their open source code. Company is still in business, though no true Linux user would consider their product, and it now is an MS partner. So yeah MS has open source code provided by Linux. And they probably are using a lot in Vista.
