Sounds nice, but will it stick?

Microsoft has changed as a company and is becoming more open in the way that we work with and collaborate with others in the industry, in how we listen to customers, and in our approach to the cloud.
We contribute to and partner with open source communities and promote interoperability to make it easier and less costly for customers to develop and manage mixed IT environments. We actively participate in the standards setting process and support established and emerging standards in our products.
In the cloud, we support key standards that provide the building blocks for open, interoperable cloud services, and we support developer choice of programming languages. We support data portability and believe customers own and control their data, no matter where it resides.
Sounds nice, but will it stick?

nope.
MSFT is changing but it might be too late. They tried to produce an expensive closed ecosystem, and failed. Its now problematic for them, as we move to the cloud.
Too little, too late.
What is really funny is that msft benefited from an open ecosystem from its beginning. But they somehow lost sight of that and just thought $$$.

Actions speak louder than words but they have had a lot of turnover up top so it's possible.
