Kudos to Microsoft
Yes, really. I’m not kidding, or being sarcastic.
Microsoft might, _finally_ (large pinch of salt required given past embrace and extend behaviour) have decided to use open protocols.
Not for MSIE - that would be the icing on the cake - albeit thick, crunchy icing.
Yesterday they announced they are going to join “AMQP” which is a middleware standard whose biggest supporter is Redhat.
Today, they announced that Windows Live ID was going to join OpenID.
Oh, and there is also a glowing report from the SAMBA folks.
Keep up the good work and _please_ don’t go back to the bad old ways.
I wonder if the MSN protocols have been opened up yet?
