The stories about Microsoft releasing code, was more of a another way to cover up for a GPL violation :(

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/07/23/microsoft_hyperv_gpl_violation/

Not really because Micro$oft wants to help out a rival or a plague like Steve Ballmer once said.  The truth comes out sooner or later.
