Kerberos (Windows 2000/XP authentication) - used an undefined field in a
non-compatible manner, making it difficult (though not impossible) to
integrate Windows networks into existing Kerberos authentication
schemes.  Would not release documentation for interop (I'm not aware of
any updates to this issue, either).

Java - one could argue this isn't a standard (it isn't).  That depends
on whether you meant "standard" as in a specification
approved/maintained by an independent third party, or standard as in "de
facto standard." However, they extended the Java API and the VM to
support some Microsoft specific things.  

Both of the above can be tracked down via simple google searches.

THere are some others that I'm blanking on, I think things like some
aspects of SOAP and default character sets used in HTML pages generated
by Front Page (the ? instead of apostrophes problem if you're on a
non-MSFT browser and/or platform).
