From ZDNet: “In its antitrust settlement with the Justice Department and nine states, Microsoft promised to publish technology that would allow competing products to interoperate with Windows. But Microsoft has sidestepped the penalty by crafting a technology license that excludes the company’s only viable competitor.
Linux, which was described by Windows Division Vice President Brian Valentine as the long-term threat against Microsoft’s core business, is banned from interoperating with its common Internet file system, otherwise known as Windows File and Printer Sharing.”
