I suspect that some XenSource employees when Microsoft/Citrix snatched them. We
know for a fact that "a lot of SUSE developers" left Novell because of their
deal with Microsoft (according to Gartner). Some time ago, people said that
this was the reason Microsoft could never even consider buying Red Hat. There
are other companies whose employees were upset and insulted by takeovers that
had them inherit Microsoft's criminal status.
