"Does Microsoft have an open-source strategy - beyond finding new ways to thwart Linux and other non-proprietary wares? Sam Ramji, Microsoft's Director of Platform Technology Strategy and the company's Open Source Software Lab, says it does. I met with Ramji last week when he was passing through New York on his way to Europe, and had a chance to ask him to provide a succinct definition of what Microsoft means when it refers to its own 'open-source strategy'."

How about making Samba or something else work seemlessly with Active Directory, instead of having to modify the schema to fit some odd configuration of LDAP?
That means working with OSS developers such the Samba team to get stuff working right.
In other words, I'll believe it when I see it, but I won't hold my breath.
If MS was doing this for customers' benefit, they'd have made something like this work a long time ago.
As it stands now, they clearly only care about getting a slice of the pie for money's sake, not for the customers' benefit. They're a business, that's fine. But please don't pass it off as you're being the customer's friend and doing them a favor.
