[SLUG] MS partnership benefits?

Hey guys, not trying to start any flame wars or anything - this is a
honest/serious question that I've been thinking about the last few days:

How have the MS/(insert Linux vendor) partnerships helped the Linux
community so far? Novell is the largest partner, I believe, but Xandros
also entered into a collaborative agreement with MS.

Any benefit to the community thus far? It's been a fairly good amount
of time that we should have seen some fruit, right?

The only thing that comes to mind is the Samba group getting access to
some MS protocol specs...

Anything else??
