Open Source?

Coekaerts has been instrumental in getting Oracle geared up for open source

That's a curious comment. At the time Sun was acquired by Oracle it was heavily into open source (albeit it not in a productive way) and Oracle lost no time in crushing all of that work. Within Oracle Coekaerts was more seen as the virtualization guy, and I'd guess that it's in that role Microsoft wants him.
