[Samba] Did Microsoft release any useful information . . . ?

[Markus Bajones]

Hello,

I just read on an austrian news site ( http://futurezone.orf.at/hardcore/stories/289596/ 
  ) that Microsoft released documentation of some of their protocols.
On the site there are 4 links to Microsoft:

http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2008/jun08/06-30InteropUpdatePR.mspx?rss_fdn=Press%20Releases
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc216514.aspx
http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/intellectualproperty/protocols/default.mspx
http://www.microsoft.com/interop/

Now my question is:

Is there any useful information for open source developers, especially  
samba devs, in some of this docs??
Especially in the smb and smb2 docs found here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc246231.aspx 
  and
here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc246482.aspx.


Hopefully it is useful on some way.

Greetings from Vienna, Austria.
Markus
