Microsoft Looks for the Big Guns in OOXML In-Fighting
,----[ Quote ]
| Bill Gates has reportedly been making phone calls to the Secretary of Defense

Also Ballmer.

Yes, a so-called 'patent terrorist' for government. Maybe he'll even leap on
stage when half a million civilians get killed for oil.
Ballmer too has been caught making calls to the US government in order to flip
the majority vote against OOXML. And guess what? Pearly and Sweaty succeeded
because the US eventually voted "Yes" after it was going to be a "No" (they
enquired before the final vote).
I sometimes wonder if Pearly has more corruption power than Dubya and his
assistants /combined/. He already pollutes the press with that 'philanthropy'
nonesense (he literally owns the press). I don't think that Dubya owns
Murdock.

everytime you say things like this i just think of that cult of people
who send around .doc files. i dont want to communicate with people who
talk in .doc format, but they do not wish to use something else, so
they discredit those without word. --Ed, c.o.l.a.
