Miquel is working hard for his money.


Our favourite OSS poser Miguel de Icaza is at it again. This time spreading his usual lies about ODF. His goal has always seemed being about getting employment at Microsoft (he was turned down once) and im beginning to realize he must already have gotten it.

I was about to write it up but Roy has an excellent aggregate of all the surrounding facts.

I guess it all comes down to the fact that denmark has chosen ODF. A couple of countries more and Microsofts strangehold on Office suites are but a memory of the past. For the new people in this saga i can tell that ODF is something that scares Microsoft. Its a common format for document exchange so that it doesnt matter what office suite you use.

Remind yourself again, why do you use MS Office really. Is it because you cant exchange documents with others if you dont? Your systems only work with .doc, .xls etc?
