Their first steps I would think would be allowing support for other compilers in Windows like GCC and Clang maybe? But again all this is every programmers pipe dream for now...

GCC is pretty much written such that non-GPLed code cannot interact with it. You could use it as a compiler, I guess, but Intellisense and such wouldn't work with GCC.
