Yes, Microsoft knows this. So, for delivery you suddenly have Exhcnage and
SharePoint, which complicate things. Then you have REST for SOA. All
proprietary.
Then you have the /content/ delivered.... XAML/WPF, HD, OOXML, XPS...
Microsoft has a plan. It want to hijack/replace the Web with something it
controls and owns. Better get that Windows, eh? Or fight the abusive monopoly,
which is /buying/ companies in order to support it's nasty strategy. That
includes Novell, BTW...
