К знающим людям. Не могли бы Вы прокомментировать следующую цитату? > Microsoft's latest concessions regard its Common Internet File > System (CIFS) and Server Message Block (SMB) protocol > technologies, which Windows servers and desktop machines use to > communicate over networks such as the Internet. Microsoft says > that it won't assert its intellectual property rights over CIFS > and will instead offer it openly as an Internet standard. In > August, Microsoft will also begin licensing its proprietary > enhancements to SMB, giving third parties the information they > need to write compatible products. Some SMB-compatible products > already exist, such as Samba, an SMB add-on for UNIX and UNIX- > like OSs such as Linux. But because the SMB format was > proprietary, Samba's developers had to reverse-engineer SMB, > which changes somewhat with each Windows version. Microsoft's > opening up of SMB is a big win for UNIX/Linux/Windows > interoperability. -- Serge Skorokhodov aka suralis 13.03.2002 suralis-s@mtu-net.ru
