All I have to say is, one of these days will be pay back time.
The abuses expressed herein have an interesting parallel.
The attempts at posting personal information without proper
authorisation (personal consent) are an invasion of privacy and
violate rules of netiquette.
Advocates who share the positive attributes of Linux and / or
anything considered counter to a proprietary competing firm, its
associates and those who profit by it seem to be the victim of
relentless and unprovoked attacks in this newsgroup.
Keep it up, trolls. You only add fuel to the fire of a losing
battle.

EU investigation into Open XML vote still ongoing
Posted by Martin LaMonica Post a comment
European antitrust regulators are investigating whether Microsoft
abused its desktop software market dominance in its effort to
standardize the Office Open XML file formats.
The European Commission's antitrust regulatory body sent queries
to several European countries to see how the standards-setting
process was working, a spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday.
The investigation is still ongoing, he added.
The effort stems from a complaint lodged by anti-Microsoft
lobbying group ECIS (European Commission for Interoperable
Systems). The Commission said in January that it is exploring
whether the Open XML file formats are sufficiently interoperable
with competitors' products.
