They have been asked to document their protocols such that their competitors (mostly open source) can compete. Licensing their server software is much like asking a politician one question and them answering the question they wanted you to ask. Of course the open source vendors can not sign the NDAs this will require. and Microsoft can't seem to get their shit together to document their protocols, probably their biggest problem behind the scenes.

The major issue as i see it, is that M$ can move to office 13 XML in 18 month and stop supporting the office 12 format in 8 years or so.
If on that day there is no finiacial reason for m$ to impliment support for handicap people and there is no copetition that day will the senate stand up and have a hissy fit to make sure that no one moves until m$ supports handicapped people ?

Negotiations are not going well with m$ ;)
