Jeremy Moskowitz is pretty credible resource. Recently for the local LUG he gave a talk on how to integrate Windows and Linux together in an authentication scenario (ie Active Directory/LDAP). Yes, for people that don't/can't switch from an entire MS to an entire Linux setting this integration is extremely useful. And yes, there are some things that MS does out of the box a lot better and easier than linux. With that said, if developers don't want people using their code in proprietary applications, they have every right to restrict its usage. And if MS wants to talk about integration, the OSS community's processes and protocols are plainly open for anybody to work with, can the same be said about MS's processes or protocols?
