Actually, Microsoft contributes to open source [1]. Including to Linux kernel, with drivers [2]. I guess we should be thankful for they spend they time and money helping the kernel. Personally I don't care what they true intentions are, and surely they only did this aiming on what any capitalist company would do, but the fact is that helps Linux as a software.

Don't do that, please. Defending MS for fun in a Linux mailing list won't get you anywhere. You have a blog for posting your thoughts. Useless flamebait posts should be motive enough for a ban. Don't even start, please.
If that's the case criticizing Microsoft for fun should be enough to earn a ban. The snide comments on Microsoft's intentions are much worse flame-baiting than clarification on Microsoft's real (admittedly minor) contributions to the kernel. Linux is not a religious cult.
