Despite what many in the open source community may think, Microsoft has understood the value of community for some time now.  We have fostered a great developer community at http://www.msdn.com  While a little late to the game, Microsoft also helped form a good Architecture community at http://www.microsoft.com/architecture/. 

I believe that we are in the midst of a User Experience resurgence, and it's very exciting.  Designers who were somewhat marginalized  after the .COM bubble burst, are now the leaders in a movement to take back the UX and move software to the next level.  To support this effort, in addition to our industry-leading tools, Microsoft is supporting the designer community with Phizzpop (http://phizzpop.visitmix.com/).  Check it out.
