No, MS made too much money so far, freakin' communists grow up.
He started this project and is now deceased. If you read the article you'd find that this project has been dedicated to his memory and why MS is offering it for free. If you are going to try and twist that around to some MS evil ploy then something is surely wrong with YOU. Show some respect for Jim, will ya?

Quite insightful. I seem to recall some company coming out with a real cool gadget to play music on, but it only supported it's own OS. Then they got the idea they could make crazy money if they offered the product for the competition, AT A PRICE. What you think Bill's philanthropic endeavors extend to all. I believe MS is GIVING IT AWAY, so a little perspective from the business side of things.
Maybe Toyota will give GM some advice on their next models, I think not.....I can see the banner now:
