Strange...

When another well-known company built it's own open source hub reaction was more positive... may be because it was done will less fanfare and more substance. Compare Microsoft's "We wanted a foundation that addresses a full spectrum of software projects, and does so with the licensing and intellectual property needs of commercial software companies in mind" with Google's "Code.google.com is our site for external developers interested in Google- related development. It’s where we’ll publish free source code and lists of our API services"...

Actually it may be more difference between Google culture (code comes first, merketing will come later) and Microsoft culture (marketing is the king... everywhere and without restraints), but the difference is stricking.
