Microsoft and standards - again

I've commented numerous times (here, here and here) on Microsoft's support (or lack thereof) of standards. In one other previous post I commented on the founding of the Kerberos Consortium and the important fact that Microsoft was not a founding member. In fact, I stated:

Microsoft put Kerberos on the map my friends

I'm happy to state that Microsoft is now a member of the consortium and holds a seat on the executive advisory board.

Well done!

p.s. Conspiracy theorists please take note: Google is also a member of the consortium and also holds a seat on the executive advisory board. They were a founding member. I'm sure that had nothing to do with Microsoft finally jumping on.
