Microsoft contribution to Linux

http://www.joedog.org/2012/07/microsofts-bigguns/

In April Microsoft made news when it became a top-twenty contributor to 
the Linux kernel. The Redmond giant contributed over 20,000 lines of 
code in support of Hyper-V. This was a striking turn around. Remember, 
Microsoft’s CEO once described Linux as a "cancer".

Although it contributed over twenty thousand lines of code, the 
Internets are now abuzz over a single line of code in hv/hv.h line 45 
[1]:

   #define HV_LINUX_GUEST_ID_HI 0xB16B00B5

...

So now Linux is "sexy" =)
