Microsoft Microsoft has "dramatically" changed because of open-source software, the company's Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie said Thursday as part of a wide-ranging discussion during the annual Most Valuable Professional summit in Seattle. He also talked about Microsoft's mesh concept and the importance of virtualization.

I judge people by what they do, not what they say. From that standpoint Microsoft has learned nothing from open source software or any open source community.

To me the interesting questions are:

Do they understand concepts of open source software or open source community, and intentionally try to lie their way in through the back door?

Or

Are they honestly trying to build open source communities, but just have no clue?
