The ongoing saga of Microsoft vs Samba

At least we have another milestone on the road towards interoperability. How long until we get a definitive judgement on this and force Microsoft to play by the rules and pay up?

This really needs to be sorted out soon so that we can all settle down and use the solutions that work best for our own situations and get some proper work done. Personally I wonder if the problem now is going to be that nobody in Microsoft really knows how SMB works and the Samba team will probably have to educate them. If you look at how resource sharing is managed in Windows 7 you really have to wonder if the Windows development team (if that's an accurate way to describe them, I don't think there's much in the way of teamwork in MS) are living on the same planet as the rest of us.
