howdy,
i asked this question on an online interview with a guy from MS.
given Apache and GNU's hold on the large network platform market, what is MS's position on GNU.
his answer was all i expected it would be, about 5 words.

the interview was oncpp-home

look at the last question in the most recent interview.

BTW sorry about the vauge link, i couldn't figure out how to put a link directly to the interview page:>(
