Re: [DDN] user demand for openoffice 2.0 books

Fact: Microsoft has resprted to a lot of underhanded tactics in the past. At least the courts ruled so. Opinion: the rest of Phil's comment is his opinion. That opinion isn't either slanderous at all. If it were *anything*, it might be libelous, but it isn't libelous on its face. Microsoft is

Re: [DDN] user demand for openoffice 2.0 books
