To allow MS in among open source, is to allow the very ones whose stated mission is conquest! by any means. I have no desire to sound alarmist. But this company will Conquer, if it takes 50 years. Or longer. They want a hand in your business, ( recall them attempting to bankroll the latest SCO debacle??) and to be able to call the shots ( RULE, or CONTROL) at all costs. 
You must remember....... These people are FOR REAL. 
I'd be willing to do anything within reason to keep these corporate warmongers away from our beloved Linux/ BSD / Open Sauce table.
You know what they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Anything M$ does for "the good of human kind" I will always look for they hidden agenda.
