After takin' a swig o' grog, Roy Schestowitz belched out this bit o' wisdom:

"Another lobbyist (unaffiliated with Microsoft) who would speak only
"on background" laughed at the "Men in Black" description. "I know
those guys," he said. "They even wear sunglasses like in that movie.
They are the 'Men in Black' of Florida lobbying, for sure."
A legislative staff employee who would lose his job if he were quoted
here by name said, "By the time those lobbyists were done talking, it
sounded like ODF (Open Document Format, the free and open format used
by OpenOffice.org and other free software) was proprietary and
the Microsoft format was the open and free one."
> State by state, Microsoft responds to creeping threat
Ironic. Originally, it was Microsoft that was the creeping threat.
