I agree and wrote an email to them telling them what I thought as a result.

To Whom It May Concern,

While your open letter is of value and it is appreciated, it was written in a proprietary MS document format, namely .doc.  I suggest you offer it in PDF or RTF, it would then perhaps carry more weight, especially within the zealous Open Source Community.

Kind Regards,

Jason Greenwood

I know both formats are proprietary as well but both are well documented and supported, and are , in most senses, much more open than .doc

If you like, I suggest all list members write to them at:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and tell them what your views are on the subject.

In his open letter he talks about how they are moving their company
systems to Linux.

Good on them. Anyone noticed that their 'open' letter is in MS Word
format? (.doc)
