Abstract

This article deals with the significant changes made by Microsoft Corp. to its business model which is aimed at taking steps toward open-source initiatives and sharing some of its application programming interfaces (API) and communications protocols free of charge with developers outside its corporate structure. Protocol documentation for additional products, such as Office 2007, will be published in the upcoming months, the company said. Moreover, Microsoft is taking steps to make its standing on patents more clear.
