Microsoft + ACT or Microsoft vs. SPO?
For many years everyone believed that Microsoft was the main enemy of open source software. But in the real world, things are not as simple as they seem.
5 years ago, Microsoft decided to collaborate with open source communities, turned its face to Linux and many other open source projects.
In 2006, the Microsoft Open Source Technology Center was opened, where bridges between open source software and Microsoft technologies were built. To work in this center invited many experts ACT. They actively influence Microsoft's decisions about what products and communities to integrate with.

Another team at Microsoft was created to make life easier for developers from the world of open source software when interacting with Microsoft: Windows Azure SDKs for Java and PHP, Windows Azure tools for Eclipse, Eclipse optimization and Windows 7, and many other projects appeared (for more details, see interoperabilitybridges .com )
Think this is not enough? Want to understand why Microsoft is doing this? Would you like to draw Microsoft's attention to a specific task requiring an integrated solution?
This week in Moscow was Sandy Gupta, head of the division that deals with interaction with Open Source at Microsoft. He promised to answer the most interesting questions on Habré. Post your question as a comment on this post.
