Hey, don't forget some people even managed to decode SMB for NT in the SAMBA project. If MS really managed to decommoditize open standards - don't you think there are enough developers which are able to copy these new properitary protocols? And when MS makes first tries in this direction and when they see, the OSS comunity will just fake what they are developing, i'm not sure if MS will continue on this way. -- Until the next mail..., Stefan.
