You've got to be kidding me! Balmer wants to establish "an intellectual property interoperability framework" that open source communities would honor? I think that's called "open standards" implemented according to the ISO, W3C and International Trade Agreement Interoperability conformance requirements.
Why doesn't Microsoft start with an honest effort to comply with where the rest of the world has long been?
~ge~
