hey Rui your point is well made, and well taken. MS has a long way to go. I am not sure about this being a sugar coated story. its just a story. and if we don’t encourage those that would help the culture then then culture definitely won’t change. At the moment Sam’s group is a pocket of thinking differently.

I witnessed first hand the respect Microsoft DOESN’T have for any standard at all at my dealings with the Portugues TC that has shamefully approved OOXML.

An overly sugar coated story doesn’t make up for the factual shennanigans Microsoft has spelled over every single open standard.

Microsoft has been fighting ODF for years, just as HTML before, SVG, PNG etc…

Agreed to all of that. As I said to Sam, “I’ll believe Microsoft is serious about interop as long as you are in the job.”

He assured me that he wasn’t going anywhere soon.

And I know, that doesn’t mean its going to be easy.
