That the divide existed at all is mind-blowing to me. In the middle of the deepest ebb in Microsoft's popularity with developers a group of people were like, "hey we love this tech so much we're going to reverse engineer and reimplement it ourselves from nothing."

And Microsoft was like, "cool, good luck with that."

They even handed out unit tests for the Moonlight team. It was certainly the start of the Microsoft renaissance, which is very strange considering it happened under Balmer.

Fair enough.

Nothing as in $0. For a lot more than nothing in terms of personal satisfaction.
