BS - pure BS. Take a look at the sponsorship list at foss.in. Most companies
sponsor foss thingies because oss is part of their business model and are using
and promoting it to, among other things, compete with their main rival which
strangely enough, happens to be microsoft. At the very least, the companies that
sponsor are not committed to the destruction of f/oss

the why of it is between you and uncle bill. But the fact is that microsoft *is*
different.
