Pffffffft.

They sponsored us because the organizers asked. Its no more complicated than that. All of the sponsors were asked to help and they did.

If anyone is "naive" here, it is your automatic assumption that everything done by MS is part of some evil conspiracy to suppress linux or open source or whatever you feel is your One, True, Valiant Cause. Even after your initial fallacious assumptions are pointed out as such and after it was pointed out that only a few seconds of clicking would have told you this is the case, you still "suspect" something else going on.
