So you've heard of TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, etc?

Well, Microsoft is starting to say that companies need sign license agreements with them before they implement these protocols.

Many of these protocols were designed before Microsoft even heard of the word "network".

I often tell the story that Bill gates was trying to sell me MS-DOS in the early 80s and I had to say "Bill, we can't possibly take such a retrograde step, because our operating system really is an operating system and has many features that MS-DOS doesn't have. A schoolboy can type 'I am Johnny' into one of our computers and be logged on through the network to a local fileserver. They can use the same commands to get files down from the server that they've learned with a floppy disk." And Bill's answer to that was, "What's a network?"
