I remember reading (probably here on Groklaw), that Microsoft studies have
helped Linux before. Namely in the time that Linux was still upcoming in the
server marked, and Microsoft comparison studies helped Linux develloppers spot
an fix the bottlenecks in the area's they were behind on Windows Server.
So perhaps they just do not want to repeat the same mistake? ;)
BEcause if the study showed that only one program was the bottleneck for not
transferring half of those last 10% of PC/s then it could offer to splitthe
Windows licencing costs to devellop one, which could be higher then their normal
licencing income.
so
1/2 *1/2 * 10% * €7.000.000 = €175.000. Which is not bad for writing a one time
api that also allows compatinility for future plugins for Linux, Android and
webbased software.
