1. User Interface: We know whom MS copies from...
2. Multi-Lingual Systems: Don't we know our language better? For a lot of time MS
didn't understand standards in this area, they made users download special fonts of
all things to see multilingual Web Pages.
3. Mobility: The came and they couldn't conquer.
4. Secure Database: Their OSs have 17 year old bugs, browsers have security holes... Did
they just say Secure Database management?
Guess, what MS wants to do is learn from our experience so that they can offer it to other
countries and nations.

and excerpts reads
The principles behind the choice of the implementation frameworks:
1) Need to scale to large number of enrolments and authentications.
2) No vendor lock-in.
3) Use of open-source technologies wherever available and prudent.
4) Use of open standards to ensure interoperability.
5) Ensure wide device driver support for biometric devices (important factor
in the choice of the client implementation frameworks).
6) Use of technology platforms and tools that have large pool of qualified
and trained technology personnel.
