I'm not sure where you're going with this, but the point was that Microsoft's contributions to the kernel were completely useless to anyone outside of Microsoft's virtualization system. I didn't mention Google at all, but Google (among many others who were also scratching their own itch with their contributions) did contribute much code that wasn't strictly benefiting their own environments and products alone. Nobody was arguing peace and love, as far as I can tell. Were you trying to make some other point about Microsoft's contributions that I missed?
