The Mozilla team has more or less accepted Microsoft's help in working on Firefox for Windows Vista. Besides the fact that the two parties are already working together, Mike Beltzner, Mozilla developer, has accepted Microsoft's invitation, saying: "Yes, we'd definitely be interested in getting some 1:1 support." Note Sam Ramji's good sense of humour: "I sent this invitation to staff@mozillaNOSPAM.org as well, but in case their
spam filters are set to block @microsoft.com email addresses, I'm
posting here."

Or maybe MS just wants to make sure Firefox works on Vista so it won't get crucified by open source supporters (with traditional media picking it up later) if it doesn't. That would be pretty bad for it's image.
They've already invited Opera, and have found two bugs related to changes in Vista; Microsoft works with ALL companies, including rivals to ensure that software works reliably on their new operating system. Its in their best interest to ensure things run smoothly as to encourage people to fork over the cash for the upgrade.
