Like a scene straight out of Sally Fields' 1985 Oscar acceptance speech, Microsoft is awed with the response it is getting to its contributions to the open source community.
"You like me, you really like me."
The proof lies within the latest download numbers from SourceForge.net, a repository of open source code and applications. The subsidiary of VA Software released a statement Thursday saying that Microsoft's two (and only) contributions are in the top five percent of the more than 80,000 active projects at the site.
