Kintaro:
Well you have a good argument refalm, for your 5% sector of the world. In the real countrys, that speak one language because we are facist barsteds. We need one language.

ENGLISHNISH!!!!

Yes, but it's Microsoft XML. I heard that it is very different from W3C XML, so it's kinda incompatible with the rest of the world.

Its XML, what the hell can they change?

To me, OpenOffice has another major stopper (I've heard it from others too), and that is the lack of an outline mode in the word processor.  I use an outliner very heavily in my writing and my quality is nowhere near as good without that feature.  I need it.

Oh, and the Navigator is a very poor substitute.

Pantso:
To All:

When a company that produces proprietary, closed, cross-incompatible software, how the hell do you expect free software to fully comply with theirs?!

The king among these companies is of course Microsoft. Microsoft has established a dead lock in the productivity suites field with MS Office. Do you have ANY ideas how difficult it is to perform reverse-engineering and produce a fully compatible Free and/or Open Source Office suite?!

To X11:

What could they have done to XML? Well, what have they done to C or C++?!!

It is up to you to resist and it is up to you to write better software. If you are up to it, do it. If not, stop whining and become actively involved in trying to produce ARGUMENTS that will contribute to the faster adoption of Free Software!
