Microsoft executives may have a hard time talking about open source software without getting their blood up, but the company appears to be taking a pragmatic approach when it comes to Windows Vista and the growing popularity of the Firefox browser.
The company has opened its Microsoft Open Source Software Labs -- until now the domain of commercial projects -- to non-commercial open source developers.
That revelation came this week when the labs' director made the offer on public Web sites, including Mozilla.org and Google's Mozilla.dev.planning.
