Just a point - Microsoft has released documentation on this so-called
"proprietary" extension.  It's true that they did so under a bit of
pressure but they did do it.  What they did was use
a field marked "vendor defined" to carry their own additional information.
Use of this field did not prevent UNIX Kerberized hosts from obtaining
tickets from a 2000 server.  In truth, the only thing that was
controversial about their extension was that they didn't immediately
release docs on it.  The actual extension modification itself was
not controversial, (except to certain fanatical people) as it occurred within
the guidelines of the standard.
