Microsoft is attempting a FUD response to the Halloween documents. And I'm afraid Robert Cringely doesn't get it either. What scares the world about these documents is that while we've long laughingly suggested that Microsoft deliberately breaks standards in order to coopt them, we've wanted to believe that this was just incompetence on Microsoft's part (See the broken CHAP stuff in Microsoft's attempts at PPP authentification, for instance). This is Microsoft saying "No, we're truly evil, and we will deliberately try to foil all of your efforts."

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
