PS - this is similar to what Microsoft does in committees that votes on OOXML,
it's similar to the way Microsoft 'killed' ISO (veterans escaped it), it's
similar to what Microsoft did in MA (maybe Finland as well... where ODF
supporters got pushed out), and probably XenSource too... (they put a
Microsoft GM in charge before XenSource sold out).
Someone tells me they try to put Trojan horse (ex-Softies) in Google as well.
They spread the diseases beyond enemy borders.
