Microsoft has been opening up for a decade...its first open source project, WIX Tools, was released in April 2004. ASP.Net MVC source code was released five years ago. Even before that, the CLI was released as an open specification as far back as 2000. Hence Mono.

How about opening up something that really matters like the the Office formats?

Yea, the OOXML fiasco was so bad it is in my wishlist for Satya, though that was from about seven years ago.
