ooo...
You mean the protocol documentation that Microsoft had to ask the Samba project for?
No big boost to Linux at all. The major benefit was the blocking of lawsuits that resulted.
Or the Office document compatibility that was already reverse engineered? Again, the only boost was the blocking of lawsuits over the file formats.
Samba was already ahead of Microsoft. Even to the point of becoming a Domain controller before the "documentation" was released.
I repeat, the only thing that was a benefit was the blocking any potential lawsuits.
