Microsoft "dot not" well lets see......[read the line below my sig]
I was so excited when I went to the Microsoft Windows website, seeing such titles as "Transforming Word Documents into the XSL-FO Format using dotNet" and such. Now all I need to do is maybe go download the .exe to start translating on my linux system. Oh wait, that would be for Microsoft Windows only. Well maybe I should just go take a look at "Word 2003: XML Software Development Kit (SDK)". Now all I need to do is download the wdxmlsdk.msi file and run that. Oh wait, screwed again. Imagine that, I look through the entire site and can't find a single executable or document format that doesn't require me to buy a Microsoft Windows OS and Office Suite. Lets all give Microsoft a big round of applause for their open XML format! -- Record oil profits reported, congress looks other way and says that's alright. Microsoft threatens to sue The State of Mass when they proclaim they no longer wish to buy office software from a 3 times convicted monopolist that is stored in a proprietary format. Senator introduces legislation to support my media/pc equipment having the ability to only work when Hollywood says it can work. Luckily I can warm my house this winter with the smoldering remains of the Constitution. -- Trey Pattillo Registered Linux User #404804 [http://counter.li.org] Registered Linux Computer # 309229 [http://counter.li.org] _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list [email protected] http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
