Infact, it'll add a lot of respect to them! Yeah, nothing shameful for a company like Microsoft. Infact, it’ll add a lot of respect to them!

They pretty much own and control dotnetnuke, and look at what happened to the SubSonic MVC framework. Microsoft hired its maintainer and now the project's dead.

I could see the possibility of using the firefox/mozilla code as part of developing IE. Safari's code is built on the open source KDE (KHTML). While Safari itself is not opensource, it uses open source elements, while keeping it's branding and proprietary elements. It would be wise to use a similar open source engine like gecko or khtml or make trident open source for developers to 'fix.' As as web developer, it would be awesome if they chose to go gecko as opposed to anything else. I simply hate how safari renders anything i develop.

I can only imagine an Open Source Vista. That'll be the day though. Also, in need of a graphics artist by any chance? :D Dont make me have good dreams for the rest of the month.

Also, in need of a graphics artist by any chance? :D

But I don't see Microsoft helping the open sources world and if it happens, they'd buy the Mozzila Fundation and take all the great ideas from Firefox and use at IE but it continuous being a monopolist browser.
