JonathanF writes: "Looks like the European Union managed to back Microsoft into a corner — the company is going to post 30,000 pages of APIs and protocols for Windows Vista and Server 2008, Office 2007, and a whole bunch of server apps. Microsoft says it's to promote interoperability, but it's most likely to avoid lawsuits from the EU and other companies who haven't had an opportunity to make their apps 100 percent compatible with Microsoft's software and its Office document standards."
