Doesn't it seems a bit immature to condemn all of them just because they work for Microsoft?

If you choose to work for a convicted criminal monopolist, what do you expect? The market for software developers is such that a software developer choosing not to work for Microsoft could still make a pretty good living.

The whole "port 25" website is just propaganda; it's completely insincere. Oh sure, a few of the geeks working in Microsoft's OSS lab may be stupid or deluded enough to think they'll actually make a difference, but no-one with an ounce of sense is fooled by Microsoft's clumsy and transparent PR attempts. Luckily for us, Microsoft's subtlety is about on par with their software quality.
