We (Black Duck) conducted a survey at SD West on March 10th showing open source use is on the rise( http://www.blackducksoftware.com/news/releases/2009-03-11 ). Embracing this trend is a good strategy. Also I like seeing the recognition that commercial adoption of OSS is based on rational decision making to meet needs and requirements, not based on "religious" issues. Black Duck exists to help commercial development organizations adopt OSS at scale while managing the associated challenges. Microsoft has a huge share of this space and the more they embrace OSS the better for all of our customers.
