They have also begun squeezing money out of the Chinese. That's how they can
sustain cashflow while at the same time reduce their userbase (cost will do
this).
I'm not sure about OOXML yet. I've just enquired. Many nations and
organisations support ODF and Microsoft gets exposed whenever it does its
dirty laundry. This leads to angry letters that reach very high levels in the
nation. Those who cheat will be named, shamed, and punished. Microsoft's Mafia
Culture must not be tolerated.
