Microsoft tries to be friendly to the open source community
,----[ Quote ]
| When the company launched its code-sharing forum called CodePlex
| in May of 2006, the Web site only had 12 posted projects. Today,
| nine months later, there are more than 700 current projects on the
| site to allowing programmers and developers to contribute and
| freely share code in the IT community.

Even the brand-new Google hosting beats them.
Yesterday I read a .NET blogger who whined about the lack of Open Source code
in the Microsoft world. Everything is PHP and MySQL, he argued. This attempt
to catch up is a case of too little, too late. And needless to say, Open
source with Microsoft technology is self contradictory.
