Re: Excellent

Agreed. Attempting to support Microsoft's patent-encumbered Uh-Oh-XML file formats is both counterproductive and legally dangerous. Microsoft could have avoided this whole mess by simply adopting the encumbrance-free ODF. But they want strife, because they want to control what we do.

I left Microsoft Windows for good several years ago, because I became very concerned about what I see as their ultimate goal--power over others at virtually any cost.

Remember, Microsoft is acting just like a drug dealer who says, "the first hit is free." Don't believe me? I quote:

No thanks, Microsoft. I'll stick with Freedom. Every time.
