But anyone with that attitude wouldn't be using Microsoft's development tools in the first place, so Oxite wouldn't be of much use or interest to them anyway.

Whether or not you're a Microsoft fan, you might want to see an Oxite-powered site in action. If so, cast your clicking finger over to the original example at Mix Online.
The only other question is whether Oxite is more than just a kite-flying exercise to see how popular a Microsoft-originated open source product might be.

If there is anything "up" with Oxite, besides a kite, we'll find out soon enough... all right?
