Yes, I think M$' embraces amount to a bug hug from a 2500 lbs polar bear. May look cuddly, but will break your back in under a second. New dictionary definition in the universe of M$: Embrace - to own, control, eliminate, extinquish, subdue, market exclusively; ex: "We embrace technologies such as Kerberos in order to modify it, fold into to our products, and use it as a tool to force consumers to upgrade or purchase our products at a premium".

YOu thought the WOrd "Embrace and Extend" As used by M$ in variuos news releases mean they aren't trying to choke the life out of it w/ those "embraces" <G>
