  It turns out that Microsoft has the largest number of the top 500 Open Source projects for any one entity.

Top 500 according to whom / what?

I was curious about this myself, but it looks like they are the highest open source contributor on Github according to https://octoverse.github.com.

In my measurement of the 30 highest velocity open source projects [0], Microsoft has VS Code, .NET and Office Developer.

A few Haskell and OCaml researchers are also on MSR payroll.

They are also contribuing for Go on Windows and the main contributors for Go tooling on VSCode.
