MS is in a very serious corner here. The only customers actually speaking on the subject are all demanding ODF, which (for good reason) Microsoft will not provide. That leaves MS with the elephant-in-the-room problem.
Either they admit that they have higher priorities than what customers demand, especially enormous customers [1], or they publicly call those same customers incompetent.
Either way, not a good way to persuade others from doing the same.
Thus, the best MS can hope for right now is silence on the subject.
[1] If California were a country, it would have the eighth-largest economy on Earth -- and it has a large proportion of public/private IT utilization as governments go. Texas is right behind. - Posted by: Yagotta B. Kidding Posted on: 03/06/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
