Well accepted? maybe by linux fanboy morons who couldn't read and understand if their life depended on it. Microsoft needed improved SRV4 compatibility, Sun needed some drivers - as for HP - thats the unanswered one, but given how inept they are with their UNIX division, I doubt there was any devious undertakings. People trying to make up some grand unified conspiracy theory, quite frankly need to get off the crystal meth and embrace sobriety - it might not be as 'exciting' but at least it is real.
