Apparently, it *is* true, but a PR as proposed didn't end up being published. It's a pity because unintentionally it left an open flank. One cannot run the risk of making dubious action with relation to Microsoft, because inclear situations play *only* onto Microsoft's favour. I don't mean "one should attack Microsoft", I think that the Board already has difficulties managing it's time for "defending GNOME users" on the subject of OOXML (clearly, since a PR didn't get issued) so I don't think such a shallow action is deserveful of valuable time. If one wants a clear example of how dubious action plays in favour of Microsoft, just look at the EU/Microsoft deal, where Comission congratulates itself for defefat, Microsoft sheds crocodile tears, and Microsoft Tax get Seal of Approval from Commission. Talk about a successful PR campaign... most of the world is joyful of Microsoft's "fake defeat". Rui -- Kallisti!
