| That's what M$ took as a strategy, I think. And just like total
| revolution within M$ Office brings those logically thinking to
| OpenOffice.org, this revolution is an encouragement to migrate to
| Linux, where efficiency increase is not bound with inherent
| incompatibility. Mozilla is one of great examples here. So
| before you will have to ask your computer, what youwant to do
| today, take a while and think about being openminded and
| sticking to open standards.
