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).
