Microsoft will benefit greatly from this arrangement, at the expense of the Linux community. Not good.
A board seat also gives MS insight into the future direction of Linux, and the challenges and weaknesses that aren't generally advertised to the world. They'll of course use this insider information to make their own Windows OS more competitive against Linux. Make no mistake, MS is a Platinum member now purely for their own financial benefit.

Can Microsoft kill Linux? As history has shown so far, this is unlikely. Can Microsoft sponsor and thereby influence the development of Linux? Certainly. After all, if RedHat can, why not Microsoft?
