Microsoft has been an OGC member for quite a while (since 1998, I
think). Terraserver is a good manifestation of what can come from
being aware of OGC specs.
MS originally joined due to their interest in Mobile Location
Services. Carl Stephen Smyth was their representative in those days.
They also brought in people from their automotive unit in Ireland.
Steve had interesting RDF-ish ideas about how to get data bundles to
"knit up" at the edges.

Kinda thought they might ;-) Now if only Yahoo will follow suite,
MS is already in there
due to their purchase of GeoTango...
