I don't know, personally I remain faithful to the classics:

and cautious about these kind of corporate mentality changes, it seems to have been proved a valid approach for the last 2 thousand years or so.

Once you as a company have a certain track record, I'd say it's not unreasonable for an outsider to shift from "just wait and see if it'll be terrible!" to a more proactive stance. In cases like this, past actions do model future behaviour.
But really, it's something easily judged over time. Everyone will be able to judge how our open source attitude is in coming years.
And hay, look, there's more absorption of Linux into Windows... Is that embrace extend, or recognize reality? Or hold on for dear life? From my perspective, it's evolution, and nothing but good.
