People have commented that Microsoft is after open source developer mindshare, but maybe it's the other way around. My connections with people at Microsoft indicate that there's a whole new generation of developers there that were favorably influenced by the open source movement before they got to Microsoft. They have very little connection to Microsoft's cutthroat tactics of the past. While these developers are not in senior management yet, they may still be influencing Microsoft in small ways.
