No, he means all the protocols which Sun, SGI and HP ignored (or
overcharged), forcing houses with Macintoshes, VMS, etc. to buy NT servers,
eventually buying NT desktops as well.
He is talking about the protocols which Open Source operating systems
have long supported, and which are a major route by which open source
operating systems penetrate into places with otherwise closed buying
strategies.
Novell file sharing protocols are light years ahead of SMB. Of course,
they all run over IP now.
