Lars, we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
Ah, OK, spoken like a true apologist. ;) What's your proposed solution?
... I've been hearing how a development over the horizon is finally
going to break Microsoft's hold over the OS/Browser/Office Suite market.
Re-read my post. I stated nothing about what it will or will not break
the hold of. I stated that the cost of moving to OOo is probably cheaper
than to MSO 2007 and I stated that most users would not notice they were
using OOo.
I'm still waiting for something to actually do so. But, I don't think
this will be it.
As also stated, MS has not been competing on merit for the better part of
a decade. There have always been better tools than MS has offered,
sometimes light years better, a case in point being Netware + NDS vs
Windows + AD...
Lock-in and illegal business methods have to be dealt with first.
