The comments here seem brutally negative, but I applaud Microsoft for yet another step in what seems to me to be a firm-wide aggressive embrace of open source tech. The Microsoft of yore would not have built this at all, let alone released this on Github.

Some of us still remember how Microsoft used to Extend and Extinguish right after Embracing. Protocols, formats, standards; you name it, they did it. It is true the company seems changing to better, but you can't re-build damaged reputation overnight. For example, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3900348 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3900348 > The comments here seem brutally negative (...) Those aren't that brutal yet. Read up some discussion on software patents. Or on PHP ;-)
