The Feb ISO poll is going to be stuffed by M$ and the ISO will have to live with the ignominy of perhaps the worst standard ever. Countries like Burkina Faso and even ones like Denmark have absolutely no tech ability to evaluate. They will get some M$ pennies in the form of X(plosive)boxen. While the Indian M$ honcho goes bannanas with his version of spiked reality confusing technology with standards (lcd and plasmas). statements like "when you save something to disk the app encodes the data and (then a gigantic leap into his reality) hence only the app that stored the data should read it", No with comments = yes with comments etc etc. AND HOT OFF THE PRESS http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070914/laf040.html?.v=101 SCO is bankrupt - files for chapter11 -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
