I think Microsoft is trying to follow suit. I mean look at apple, they have been embracing open source. Ive been using OS X for ever and think its great. Sure it has its closed componets but it gives them the ability to make revenue. This is a great step and I hope Microsoft does well from this. As for me its back to compiling darwin.
In my experience with macs over the years i feel this is a mix-bagged situation. On one hand, us apple die-hards get more support for our UNIX environment. However I think apple is turning cheek on the open-source world, but then agian it is at Steve Job's descretion...
