Story: Gates: open source lacks interoperability

Because Gates loves interoperability!
Is this the same company that kept certain Windows APIs secret so that their Office suite would work much better than anyone else's?
The one that broke Java compatibility in their Java VM and got sued by Sun?
The one that invented it's own "improvements" to HTML that noone else could use, so some websites would only work with IE (thankfully only a few web programmers were daft enough to use them)?
I'd go on, but there's a whole book that's yet to be written about MS and interoperability.
