Having projects as OSS is just plain sensible as in the majority of cases it's a better development approach then the proprietary ones.

That MS has made some projects OSS is just recognition they needed to up their game or be left behind.

It in no way means they're suddenly "good guys" (etc).

When their actions are those of "good guys", then perhaps they could be start to be viewed as such.
