I haven’t heard much about this. Last month, the folks at Port 25 announced a new website for Microsoft. Port 25 is the open source lab at Microsoft. The website is basically outlining what Microsoft thinks of open source and what they are doing to keep certain people happy. No, the website is easy to remember (you add /opensource/ to the end of microsoft.com).

In relation to open source at Microsoft, an article appeared on Neowin last night saying how the Silverlight developer made sure that it was truly cross-platform by providing some of its top developers to offer guidance for the Linux version of the application framework (known as Moonlight). This has perhaps leveraged the platform as being attractive to develop for, as we know that previously Flash for Linux has been last on the mind of Macromedia (however Adobe has fixed that recently).
