If anyone is interested in rectifying this situation, you have my full support, including cash when I have it.

Well I used to think so too at one point ... pdf is only good for one thing ... getting a document to someone who needs it over e-mail and getting it there in one piece. And them having the capability of reading it (most people don't know what an odt is much less how to open it) ... more know about doc (M$ shit), but it never gets there in one piece. So the best option for this right now is pdf ...
[/OFFTOPIC]
that may change with this forcing odf on M$.

Standardized formats rock! I don't understand why it's not the case. VHS and DVD movies are (minus the PAL in the rest of the world and NTSC in N America). The regions were only created to stop pirating...which it didn't, most dvd players have a way to make them region free and even NTSC/PAL cross compatible...Shtuff, look at the 3 1/2" dirve floppy...
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

No, the regions were created so that the media cartels could price DVDs how they wanted in the various parts of the world - that way, we have to pay what they say and can't get a better deal from another part of the world.
It's funny how the business world likes to brag about the "global economy" - but only when it benefits them.

M$ should be forced out of the office software suite altogether, by law, period. It hurts everyone when a company that big is allowed to muscle out competition. I hope the Asians and Europeans bust BG's chops hard on this one. If Microsoft spent less money and time on extras maybe they could produce an OS that didn't suck.
