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.
Woah, guys stop this now. This started off starting asking whether anybody here attended LinuxTag 2010 and not one person replied correctly to the original post's question. Just stop this off-topic stuff here please. :( -- Sven-Hendrik
