Yes, that would make sense.
Lets have OSDN give money to Microsoft, instead of just taking money from Microsoft. I wish that everyone here who bitches about MS adds would install some add blocking software and shut up. Open source and Microsoft are not mutually exclusive (though they do rarely intersect). MS advertising on tech sites (such as OSDN) is not at all ironic, nor is it wrong for OSDN to advertise for them. Now as to whether MS is wasting their money advertising to this audience, well that is their decision, not OSDNs. I personally don't think Visual Studio adds right next to the Borg Gates icon on Slashdot are all that effective, but it pays OSDN's bills so what the heck, keep 'em coming.
