Windows Server Trusts Samba4 Active Directory 182
Darren Ginter writes "A group of Samba v4 developers recently spent a week in Redmond to work with Microsoft on Active Directory interoperability(?!). The result? Windows Server will now join, trust and replicate a Samba-based Active Directory using Microsoft-native protocols. Although Samba v4 is still in the alpha stages, this is a huge step for open source. Or it could be a trap."

Anyway - you can't be too sure about anything these days, but if Microsoft doesn't cooperate they will have an even lower respect from the open source community than they have today.
Well, that explains the move to 64-bit. We were at risk of over-running the lower bound of the signed long integer that would have been required to express this new depth of loathing. Now, they're good until at least 2038. 8^)
