Microsoft’s motives in this should be looked at very closely; they haven’t been remotely trustworthy in their dealings with potential and real competitors. I suspect Microsoft views the Linux and Mac worlds as potential markets and as potential sources of developers with fresh ideas.
I grew up on Microsoft's Embrace-Extend-Extinguish so I'm a healthy skeptic too. But I'm willing to watch and see what they do with this.
