First of all, I am an American.
Second of all, I DID NOT vote for the hockey puck that is in the White
House.
Third of all, I DO NOT use M$ Winblowz, but have used Linux for many years.
Fourth of all, I DO NOT use M$ Orafice, but use OOo from the 1.x days.
The impact of M$ may be perceived as an American thing, but on the
"American" Forums it does not seem that way, Linux users are just as
passionate here as anywhere else and are just as numerous.
Unfortunately, the legal pressure on M$ is off and that appears to be
indirectly or directly related to the current White House Hockey Puck.
The antitrust suits started during the previous administration seem to
have been dropped shortly after "Dubya's" appearance onto the scene. I
do applaude the EU's attacks on M$, including the recent one about M$
withholding specs on it's recently ISO approved standard doc. format.
These withholdings, as many feared make other office suites incompatible
with OOXML. I hope the next admin will have the backbone to stand upto
Steve Ballmer & Assoc. better known as M$.
As a Canadian, I wish you would stop insulting hockey pucks by comparing
them to "Dubya".
I wish knuckleheads everywhere would stop putting either Billary or
Obama (God help us all) on a pedestal!! Bush has done a lot that I don't
agree with, but the idea of either of those to socialist hairbags on the
demo. ticket getting into the White House is enough to make be have the
back door trots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Further, DON'T think for one min. that
either of them would be kinder to open source! Gates and company has
already bought them - FACT!
