What I find at least mildly irksome is that the conclusion drawn by the 
author is that this behavior illustrates, not anything about MS' 
behavior, which would seem to me to be the most obvious point, but 
rather "the importance of Web services", such that this importance would 
drive MS to do such a thing.
