There wasn't any stolen code... there was a GPL violation, however.

17th largest contributor to the Linux kernel?!

Mostly so that Linux could run as a guest on Hyper-V. It took quite a lot of code, so those published numbers that rank contributions based on lines of code will place Microsoft high. If ranked by reusability, their position would be much lower.

Turning the Hyper-V stolen code thing

That's an interesting assertion. Mind elaborating?

17th largest contributor to the Linux kernel?! Skype for Linux?! Turning the Hyper-V stolen code thing around to make it look like they were being nice to us?! What's next?! Who else gets the feeling MS is trying to worm it's way in and eat our OS from the inside?! Beware of geeks bearing gifts (a little play on "beware of Greeks bearing gifts", lol)

Dancing with the devil never ends well. :mad:
