And quoted from that writeup:

According to Jonathan Murray of Microsoft "The Open Source community
stimulates innovation in software, it's something that frankly we feel
very good about and it's something that we absolutely see as being a
partnership with Microsoft."

I guess now it's time to try the "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy
and this is a try at the "embrace" phase? :-)

Some of the "related links" look interesting too.  The first one has
video in Ogg Theora, so the shoe is on the other foot for a change:

Note: For Linux/FOSS operating system - Theora encoded videos are
supported with the default media players.  For Windows - Ogg Direcshow
Codecs are required to play theora videos; or ffdshow to play mp4 videos
files.

Hah, ha. :-)
