"Sam Ramji, Microsoft's director of its Open Source Software Lab has invited 4 Mozilla developers to spend 4 days with Microsoft's Vista Readiness ISV team. The invite can be found on mozilla.dev.planning and was posted on Saturday (Aug. 19). Schroepfer replied by indicating that Microsoft and the Moz guys are already in contact via email and will follow up on the offer there. This is interesting because Sam posted the offer in a public forum (and indicated that he'd sent a PM, but was posting in case they had an @microsoft.com email filter). Sam also made a point of stating that the Vista ISV Readiness offer is typically only for commercial ISVs."

its the MSN – OSS lab , it certainly makes sense...!!

this if its MSN-Research with MOz, then it would raise eyebrows!!

I would belive so Sohil!

After all interoperatiblity tests need to be done for TCP/IP Stack . So they must be testing their s/w with these distro's too. Plus Vista does have the Ipv6 readiness too.. so it would make sense to team up with the OSS folks too.
