Judging solely on Microsoft's past history dealing with communities (w3c,
for example), I'd say Microsoft would love to harness THE community.

Soon, Microsoft will again abuse the Intellectual Property Laws and file
patents for other people's work. Just like Patent#5,860,073, which
gave the IP rights of "style sheets" to Microsoft in 1999; 5 years after W3C began
developing CSS.
