I thought that was about WordPerfect etc rather than NetWare.

Totally agree that Microsoft did some bad stuff, I just don’t remember there being any malign attempts to disrupt NetWare integration.

NetWare was the main player in PC networking at the time, so arguably it would not have been a good strategy.

It’s absolutely true that the NDS integration was an issue, but my memory is that this was a quality/competency issue on both sides, and not due to a lack of cooperation.

I think wordperfect was a diffrent settlement at least according to https://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/11/08/microsoft_novell_ne...

From that the settlement was around NDS for NT

Thanks for digging that out, I stand corrected.
