Nice to see this from MS. At this point they probably see there is nothing to hide in their kernel, nothing that major competitors already don't have (either implemented or in progress). Released information might help projects like ReactOS, too.
Although MS must be on the lookout for good kernel experts coming out of academic institutions, positive is that Microsoft isn't trying to push license terms that would prevent students from later working on another kernel.
