If Microsoft contributes to GPL software, why shouldn't we re-use that code? IIRC, ReactOS is about a free Windows implementation, not an anti-Microsoft implementation.
I would agree with you except for the fact that its not really that much code in question and we would be better off if we could do without it. People already have enough trouble with the idea of the GPL at least in the business world. Combine that with the fact that if someone was really going to use ReactOS in business then they most likely would not want to have anything to do with Microsoft.
When it comes down to it I just don't like the idea of them "owning" any part of ReactOS.
