Microsoft on Thursday said it will make application programming interfaces (APIs) for Office and Windows Server available free of charge, in a move designed to make its products work better with software from other providers, including open-source communities.
Open source developers and users have always been a sceptical group, but their opinions can shift for example, their loathing of Sun Microsystems diminished as Sun stopped attacking Linux and started moving towards open source software.
Microsoft has struck out at the Software Freedom Law Centre's (SFLC) claims that its Open Specification Promise is not as open as it should be.
The software company has made a big show about opening up its APIs, but has it really changed its stance towards open source?
