Microsoft to sponsor the Apache Software Foundation (ars technica)

ars technica reports that Microsoft will be contributing $100,000 annually to the Apache Software Foundation. "Microsoft's interest in funding Apache projects is likely driven by consumer demand for interoperability. A growing number of companies are deploying Apache-based technologies on top of Windows servers. Microsoft's understanding of enterprise open source adoption is evolving and the company has slowly been taking steps to foster its own community of Windows-based open source software developers."
