The word is that Microsoft has hired an OSDL principal for the position of Director of Linux Interoperability. According to Todd Bishop’s Microsoft Blog, Tom Hanrahan, who was most recently the director of engineering at the Linux Foundation and Open Source Development Labs, will oversee a lab promoting Microsoft/Novell software interoperability.
Bishop blogs:

But given all the scrutiny of the Novell agreement, Microsoft’s hiring of a Linux veteran for the role is likely to cause a stir, no matter the specifics of the job.
