Microsoft Finds a Few Overlooked Interoperability Protocols | |
|
||
| Time: 00:56 EST/05:56 GMT | News Source: ComputerWire | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||
|
Microsoft Corp is still finding communications protocols that it should be licensing to rivals almost five years after it was ordered to do so following the US antitrust decision. The details are revealed in the latest joint status report, which outlines the US Department of Justice’s concerns that the company is still finding protocols that should have been included in the Microsoft Communications Protocol Program but were “inadvertently overlooked”. “Plaintiffs… are particularly troubled that at this late hour in the program Microsoft is still discovering protocols that should have been included in the original documentation,” it stated, while also noting concerns that Microsoft has not been able to meet its original schedule. | ||

| MS is certainly a world leader & innovator in foot-dragging. They also seem to have problems complying with legal orders. |

"This latest audit identified ten new protocols that relate to the Longhorn Server product, which still is under development."
I'm pretty sure 5 years ago those protocols didn't exist. |

if microsoft gives the protocols... they take HEAT.
if microsoft strives for completeness... they take HEAT. its the government. thats the ONLY thing you need to remember. if they didnt find fault w/ microsoft's compliance, they might lose their taxpayer-provided job. |
