Microsoft Gives In To the EU

Posted by kdawson on from the playing-nice dept.

An anonymous reader writes with word that Redmond Developer News is reporting that Microsoft has given in to EU threats of further fines. The company has opened up a whole host of protocols, including the Exchange protocol, under a license, the terms of which are not known. No other news outlet has picked up this story so far.

    As a former member of the original Exchange group, I will make a prediction right now that NOBODY will come up with anything usable with the Exchange protocals that they can use to make a competing application.

    But I do intend to enjoy watching the efforts.

    Good luck, bitches!

    Good point, but: "troll"?? Do you even know what the word means? It doesn't just mean "wrong".
