The Way Forward -- Georg Greve Responds to Groklaw's Comments
,----[ Quote ]
| Make no mistake: the choice isn't between being able to interoperate
| with Microsoft, thanks to Novell doing interoperability work for
| them, or being stuck in some ODF ghetto, unable to read Microsoft
| documents. Everyone wants to interoperate. The question is how.
| The problem is Microsoft. The solution lies with Microsoft. They
| need to get with the program and follow standards like everyone
| else, instead of insisting the world bend to their ways.
|
| It's not normal or acceptable that we can't all freely share
| documents with one another, no matter what operating system we
| like to use. We can send each other email, even if you are on
| Windows and I'm on Linux. Why isn't that the norm for
| everything? It ought to be. The bottleneck is Microsoft. FOSS
| software is happy to interoperate with any other software. Why
| won't Microsoft?
