Microsoft has a GitHub account now, and their bio is basically an apology

[ColinWright]

Currently:

    Microsoft has changed as a company
    and is becoming more open in the way
    that we collaborate with others.

Will it change?

Also, that's not an apology.

Also, writing your own headline to imply that it is doesn't magically make it so.

Those of us that remember what they tried to do to Linux will take a bit more convincing.

Someone in PR at Microsoft will see that bio in 10... 9...

This title is a little misleading. Microsoft Open Technologies has over 160 repos on GitHub: https://github.com/msopentech

True, its got a totally apologetic tone to it! "We have changed, please forgive us and write code with us. Please!" That's what it sounds like.
