They realize now that OSS itself can’t really endanger their business. But the way they treated the Open Source community harmed their image. What is so funny is that they use typical marketing strategies to persuade Open Source fans. Perhaps PDF flyers are useful tools to court CIOs, but I seriously doubt that you can win the favor of Open Source hackers this way. Hi Mike, I think Microsoft has just changed the strategy.

They'll both be standards... eventually. But I agree that their response to OSS has been pretty laughable. Hopefully this is a sign that someone in that company is trying to turn things around.
