These stories all sound similar:

"The Kodak team felt double-crossed. They had worked with Microsoft and the 
camera industry for a year on a new photo-transfer standard that allowed 
Windows to recognize when a camera was plugged in. Now, Kodak felt, the 
standard was being used against Kodak and other digital-camera makers, 
because 
it favored Microsoft's competing camera software, embedded in the planned new 
version of Windows."

Apparently Kodak doesn't like the idea of having to pay MS for every digital 
picture printed with Windows XP :-)

Its interesting that Kodak is somehow more worthy of protection that software 
companies:

"In April and May, Kodak lobbyists made the rounds in Washington alleging 
that 
Microsoft was again trying to abuse its Windows monopoly. The message was 
heard on Capitol Hill. It was one thing for Microsoft to attack another 
software firm, says a Senate staffer, but muscling a household name such as 
Kodak could change the debate."
