> Help fight against copyright on interfaces.

MS infamously supported Oracle in pushing copyrightability of interfaces. Did they ever announce the reversal of their position?

To his points, I'd add:

* Stop pushing lock-in, and support open interoperable standards.

This has improved in some cases with MS, but in some it remains as bad before (ActiveSync, DirectX and etc.)
