I'm not surprised. Have you been following the law suit?

Microsoft was fined by the EU for not allowing reasonable access to
documentation for interoperability. Then once MS created a program for
interoperability, they were fined for making it too expensive.

Of course, in this country MS can spin it however they like...

(Thanks for the congrats!)
