REDMOND, Wash. — Feb. 21, 2008 — Microsoft Corp. today announced a set of broad-reaching changes to its technology and business practices to increase the openness of its products and drive greater interoperability, opportunity and choice for developers, partners, customers and competitors.
Specifically, Microsoft is implementing four new interoperability principles and corresponding actions across its high-volume business products: (1) ensuring open connections; (2) promoting data portability; (3) enhancing support for industry standards; and (4) fostering more open engagement with customers and the industry, including open source communities.
"Ensuring open connections to Microsoft’s high-volume products. To enhance connections with third-party products, Microsoft will publish on its Web site documentation for all application programming interfaces (APIs) and communications protocols in its high-volume products that are used by other Microsoft products. Developers do not need to take a license or pay a royalty or other fee to access this information. Open access to this documentation will ensure that third-party developers can connect to Microsoft’s high-volume products just as Microsoft’s other products do. "
"Microsoft is providing a covenant not to sue open source developers for development or non-commercial distribution of implementations of these protocols. These developers will be able to use the documentation for free to develop products."

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this and explain if it means any positive news for our Windows Mobile devices. They aren't high-volume devices according to the press release, and they didn't specifically mention them, but they are opening up the APIs for Exchange Server. Will that help in making apps for our XDAs? Interesting read anyways.
Here's my take.
There are two reasons for doing this.
First, as the world business climate changes and MS grows, antitrust issues are not going away. With a high probability of a democratic presidency, you can pretty well plan on more probes into MS business practices. EU regulators have already stated that they are going to be watching this one closely. Open architecture would place MS in a better position to defend themselves.
Second, "open" increases dependency. If you are a developer and you build your tools around the "open" MS architecture, where are you going to send your customers to buy base applications? In theory this would increase the number of units sold (breadth) but not increase the number of functions provided (depth). The net impact would be a much more stable revenue base for MS and not an "all or nothing" approach. Remember, Microsoft does not do ANYTHING that they do not believe contributes to their long term viability or profitability.
