Maybe faulting add-ins are a thing of the past?

I was intrigued to see, under the threat from competition commissions around the World, that Microsoft are opening up parts of their code-base and engineering to competitors to make the whole operating system and main applications (Office is mentioned), work better with 3rd party products.

I for one hope people like Adobe gets involved with this as a good proportion of the posts in the public GrashesGPFs group on MSFT's servers, relates to faulting add-ins opening with Excel.

Hopefully good news?

Here is the article from Reuters.
