This is such serious FUD. Namezero, a DNS hosting service that redirects over 1 million domains, recently switched to Win2000 probably because MS "suggested it would be a good idea."
I am very involved in the OpenACS (http://www.openacs.org)ject. The best way to help, other than actual coding or documentation, is to somehow help develop the resources. One way is to pay a developer directly; a developer usually is working on the OSS project out of love and would kill to get paid to work on his passion.
Another way is to do something for the community, which everyone would love. For instance, help purchase and colocate a server for the community to develop on. Or host a social for the developers to meet and drink beer together. Or help purchase tshirts for everyone to get.
The best way, IMHO, to show support for an OSS community is to help keep it live and vibrant.

Dig it.
MS is just dying for this kind of FUD and BS. So, the netcraft study shows many IIS sites. What about all the virtually hosted sites Apache runs?
