While Microsoft's announcement yesterday that it will publish key APIs and share its communications protocols was met with skepticism by the European Commission and other critics, .NET developers we talked with welcomed the step that Redmond had defiantly resisted until now.

Microsoft said?it is moving quickly to release the APIs and other documentation of Vista, Windows Server, and SQL Server. As word of Microsoft's announcement spread last night in New York during the local NYC.NET Developer Group meeting, attendees applauded the company's moves.
