Microsoft Open Source Projects Evidently Succeeding

SourceForge, which claims to host some 80,000 open source projects, many of which barely have a pulse, says that both the projects Microsoft open sourced in April are among the top 5% of active projects on the site.
Of the two, the Windows installer XML (WiX) is clearly the more popular. SourceForge says it was downloaded nearly 100,000 times in its first hundred days on the site.
The Windows Template Library (WTL) has been downloaded 19,000 times.
