Google Talk was originally just XMPP. Or at least XMPP compatible. I suppose that was too open for them.

They blamed their competitor's embrace/extend/extinguish behavior to pull out of it (IIRC MS and perhaps others had asymmetric compatibility with Google talk, and that's how they justified making Google talk proprietary).

I was using jabber to connect to gtalk. I suppose that was unacceptable as well.
