OpenSSH is crucial part of network communictions protocols nowadays, bringing not only security, but greatly enhanced utility to every its user. Unlike M$ it didn't tryed to be backward compatible, or shall I say backward insecure/bogus/annoying.

Oops. Baaad example. Reeeal baaad example. OpenSSH is the only ssh implementation bug-compatible with ssh protocols from version 1.3 up to version 2.0.

True - it defaults to 2.0 and is very secure but backward compatibility is very good with OpenSSH. Better then with most proprietary implementations.
