No you aren't, you are delighting in the fact that one of the main selling points for OOo might have suffered a set back. If you actually read the article it just says that there could be further dispute and MS will continue to fight it. No surprises there. Even if MS manage to turn this around, they are not out of the woods. BECTA which drives all UK government IT policy in schools just released an infrastructure policy which specifies open formats for office applications including ODF, rtf and txt. Note it does not include any proprietary formats, MS-XML or .doc. They will not be the only ones doing this especially when ODF is declared an ISO standard. So Massachsetts is just one helpful but not vital part of the continuing momentum behind open standards. This list is about marketing OOo, not squealing with delight at any prospect that OOo might fail, your bad manners and contempt of the other people in here are lamentable. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMSL --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
