You’ve got to do more than release open source software . . .

Looks like my comment didn't make it through - hopefully Gavin won't axe it from here too :)

Microsoft funds Apache:

Microsoft contributes to jQuery and gives 24 hour support of the product:

Microsoft puts dashCommerce and other OSS apps on ASP.net:

Microsoft gives dashCommerce an MSDN license:

If you need something in particular I’m sure you can ask them for it. From what I hear they’re fairly open.
