Here's Microsoft's confirmation, directly from the horse's, uh... mouth:
http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/highlights/editorletter.asp
Especially noteworthy is the final part in the Q&A section, "Q: The first
document talked about extending standard protocols as a way to 'deny
OSS projects entry into the market.' What does this mean?"
Microsoft's reply is equivocation of the first order... utterly ignores
the question, while gilding the company's wilted lily with good
intentions.
Reminds me of my days in the Prime Minister's Office, when it was my job
to put a positive spin on otherwise unpalatable policy truths when writing
various official documents... it's quite an art :)
