Microsoft is playing their same old game: seeing a useful idea that somebody else has come up with, recoding it in a manner that maximizes the benefit to them whilst making it expensive, difficult or impossible for anyone not using their software to interoperate with, and then publicising the hell out of "their innovation" that will "benefit everyone" and "Improve your Computing Experience" {gag}.
