In the 80's, there was a significant advance in security called Kerberos. It
was used in MIT's Athena network, which has features that your beloved
Microsoft has yet to implement as cleanly.
Kerberos was developed at public institutions at public expense.
Microsoft found a way to piss in the public well and sell drinking water.
They purposely altered the Kerberos implementation in Windows so that
a mixed network had to use a Windows authentication server.
So succeed anywhere seems to mean destroy the commons and sell what
you just destroyed.
