Microsoft will be opening up, more specifically providing documentation, and describing how their applications communicate between each other. By court order, Microsoft will be providing draft versions by the end of March 2009.
This potentially means that any programmer, not even a recognized partner, will be able to create applications that interact with Microsoft products. I don’t know about you but this scares me a bit. Without signing an NDA, would-be hackers and crack-pots will have the potential to create what would seem to be seamless products. And with large un-educated Internet users, this has the potential to further spread all sorts of spy-ware and viruses.
