The most recent public evidence of this tactical maneuver from Redmond was an interview with Ryan Gavin, Microsoft's director of platform strategy, published in a ZDNet Asia article earlier this week. In it, Gavin stated: "One of the beauties of the open-source model is that you get a lot of flexibility and componentization. The big downside is complexity."
