points 262, 285

this one is definitely worth reciting here:

230
According to Article 1(1) of the Decision, the
information which Microsoft is ordered to disclose is
‘the complete and accurate specifications for all the
protocols implemented in Windows Work Group Server
Operating Systems and 
 used by Windows Work Group
Servers to deliver file and print services and group
and user administration services, including the
Windows Domain Controller services, Active Directory
services and Group Policy services, to Windows Work
Group Networks’. Recital 999 to the Decision states
that ‘[t]his includes both direct interconnection and
interaction between a Windows work group server and a
Windows Client PC, as well as interconnection and
interaction between a Windows work group server and a
Windows Client PC that is indirect and passes through
another Windows work group server’.
