Why IBM won't Do Desktop Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Nothing really, as it presents a clear picture of
| IBM's attitudes in regards to Linux.
|
| Let's start with a little trip down memory lane. IBM
| Thinkpads were favorites amongst Linux users for
| years and years. What did IBM ever do to to show its
| appreciation for its loyal Linux Thinkpad users? Who
| paid the Microsoft tax even when they didn't want to
| use Windows, and jumped through all kinds of hoops
| to install Linux and get all the hardware working?
| Not much, some information pages but never official
| support. Which shows once again that it is a mistake
| to support vendors that treats its Linux customers
| as second-class citizens; the "if we be nice to them
| they'll be nice to us!" tactic does not work.

Symphony Thursday: Team Blog on Document Interoperability
,----[ Quote ]
| The move of Lotus Symphony to the OpenOffice.org 3 code base, and more
| importantly, having Lotus Symphony based on the current OpenOffice.org code
| trunk going forward, is the first step. We will see more pressure for full
| ODF and OOXML support, not the current OpenOffice.org implementation of ODF
| or the Office 2007 file formats, over the next 12 to 18 months. We as
| consumers of these products must demand full support of the file format - not
| the custom implementations out there today.
