As regards interoperability, Microsoft is required, within 120 days, to disclose complete and accurate interface documentation which would allow non-Microsoft work group servers to achieve full interoperability with Windows PCs and servers. This will enable rival vendors to develop products that can compete on a level playing field in the work group server operating system market. The disclosed information will have to be updated each time Microsoft brings to the market new versions of its relevant products.

To the extent that any of this interface information might be protected by intellectual property in the European Economic Area(6), Microsoft would be entitled to reasonable remuneration. The disclosure order concerns the interface documentation only, and not the Windows source code, as this is not necessary to achieve the development of interoperable products.
Looks like Samba will be the main beneficiary of this. I don't know that WINE will find anything helpful.

It's a saw. Which won't saw fingers (or hot dogs). Freaky.

That's fucking incredible.

It would've been cooler if he actually demonstrated it with his real finger though.

Real finger in a workman glove would've been sufficient to me, but since they didn't do that, I'm still wary.

http://www.free-culture.cc/freecontent/

If you BT one book this month, make it Free Culture, the new book by Lawrence Lessig. I just barely started to read it, and already he has articulated my thoughts regarding commercial and noncommercial privacy with a lawyer's attention to detail and a historian's attention to precedent. Plus, Free Culture is freely redistributable, as long as you credit Lessig and don't try to profit from his work.
