Ok, examples:

* SMTP

* Kerberos (there was a time you could use KRB4 with Windows because AD is just krb4 with extensions: now you have to use AD).

* HTML (activex etc)

* CALDAV // CARDDAV

* Javas portability breakage

* MSN and AOL compatibility.

“oh, but its not the same”. It never is, which is why I didnt want to give examples and preferred you speak to someone who knows the history more than a tiny internet comment that is unable to convey proper context.
