For those that haven't heard, Microsoft has released 20,000 lines 
of device driver code that they hope will be included in the 
Linux kernel.

Quote from article:
"The code, which includes three Linux device drivers, has been 
submitted to the Linux kernel community for inclusion in the 
Linux tree. The drivers will be available to the Linux community 
and customers alike, and will enhance the performance of the 
Linux operating system when virtualized on Windows Server 2008 
Hyper-V or Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V."
