But I am a little worried, as there is always the chance that this could be the groundwork of their infamous "embrace, extend, extinguish" policy. But hopefully, it will be a genuine contribution and in the future we can look foward to further contributions and cooperation with Microsoft.

Well looks like us linux users can look forward to some of the

microsoft thinking
I am quite pleased by the Microsoft announcement, from now on when an MS astroturfer will try to throw FUD at me about Linux being inferior security and quality wise compared with Microsoft solutions I can smile and point Microsoft *is* a contributor to the Linux kernel.
The same about GPL: after releasing code under GPL, it would be really embarrassing for Microsoft to call again it as being "communist", "cancer" or "Pac-Man".--

we are, we can definitely go somewhere with this. You've probably seen
in the news by now that Microsoft is making a pretty substantial
contribution to the Linux kernel.
