If you want to point the finger, look no further than WINE with Corel/Microsoft in or around 2000 - 2001. You may read several news articles on the web about how much Wine was going to support<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.net when Microsoft partnered with Corel, so what happened to all of that? Just piss in the wind?
How about the Gentoo founder who worked at Microsoft for a while, couldn't he also have helped in closing the gap?
It's bullshit when you think about it, if Microsoft wanted the world to be compatible and have all of their software run on any platform including Linux, I'm sure with their money and amount of employees it could've been done several times over.
A company doesn't become a convicted monopoly for nothing.
