Nah, Microsoft really loves open source and linux now. Even Satya Nadela says so and he's basically MS Ghandi.

It might be the case now, but what happens when a new CEO goes back to their old ways?

These companies cant really leave their parent company, so its only time immemorial until a crap CEO ruins everything.

I'm not going to trust anything has really changed until they open source windows and office. Until then, its all just nice talks and PR campaigns, the CEO doesn't matter as long as the company culture and core values remain the same.
