All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software
Bloody Universal Plug and Play

Yes, and I've also noticed that the official European computer diploma (ECDL) requires you to learn Windows and MS Office :thumbdwn:

Well what else could they require ? M$ Office is very similar in many ways to OpenOfiice, with different layout but similar functionality ... OpenOffice being the more functional of the two. But I dunno, I would have been surprized if they required say Linux and OpenOffice ...
A better thing to require is a brain that can figure out any Operating System using any desktop environment and any word processor ... that would earn you a real diploma, not a certified in Winblows and M$ Office bullshit diploma

Lots of firms don't use OO because it lacks porgrams like Visio and MS Project also it isn't compatable with MS Office VB scripting so all their old macros won't work, in other words they're locked in.

Where'd you hear that? A few months ago I looked into that and saw that you can use any software so long as it has the functionality tested.
I'm pretty sure OOo has the functionality, and Firefox damn-fucking-well has what it needs, but nearly all places teach MS Office (kinda lame) and IE (LAME), and I'm not sure if they will/have to let you sit the exam with something else.

The reason OO isn't compatible with VB Scripts is that VB Scripts are a half-assed implementation that should have been scrapped years ago. No sane person uses them.
