Highly interesting.

I honestly don't think Microsoft could get rid of /all/ "Open Source",
considering things like OS X and other things like that.

/However/, it is chilling to think that they could write in their next
license that users are not permitted to use any GPL'd software
(Microsoft's greatest bane) on the same computer as the particular
Microsoft software. I don't know if that would be particularly legal or
not, but they wouldn't even have to enforce it--the scare would be enough
to cause plenty of companies to jump ship.
