I have read the white paper (why it is called white is another story) and I
think that it is the usual market nonsense. Microsoft is loosing money and
they want to find a way to get their former customers back. An interesting
comment included in this "white" paper is the following one:
Microsoft Office 2010 boosts Indian IT firm's productivity by 30 percent.
I just wonder how the prodictivity of an IT company is increased by using
a word processor or a lousy database?
