Sun, IBM Continue Open Standards Double-Speak [view article]
Well, I do not have enough disk space to keep old applications around on my pc - I was not smart enough to save my files at .txt (without all the formatiing that was needed in the document) - I do not want a PDF export, as that is not editable - so how do ensure that I can read my documents?

When I no longer pay to use Microsoft Word, and I am using another product - what am I to do? Think of it this way, you know the electric outlet - you can plug something into it day after day, buy a new gadget - just plug it in - a standard. Yes, different countries have different standards and they do sell adapters, but why should I have to buy a new adapter to visit a new country?

Why is MS fighting an interchangable standard anyway (meaning, get with the program and enhance the already adopted (OASIS) standard instead of creating their own). Mar 17 09:08 AM
