I'd agree, except for the identity of the company proposing "interoperability". Microsoft doesn't have a history of that; rather, it has a history of EEE and lock-out, and considering Windows is one of their two big cash cows, I do not believe for a second that they really want interoperability. I suspect what they'd prefer is a method of forcing people from Linux to Windows, but not vice-versa (they did the same thing with O/S2). -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
