Microsoft embarrassed by new XML patent email

,----[ Quote ]
| "We saw [i4i's products] some time ago, and met its creators," said Sawicki
| in the Jan. 23, 2003, e-mail. "Word 11 will make it obsolete. It looks great
| for XP though." Word 11 was the in-development code name for what was
| eventually dubbed Word 2003.

Imagine a world without Word

,----[ Quote ]
| Other analysts say Microsoft might choose to remove the Extensible Markup
| Language components that infringe on i4i's patent and sell new versions of
| Word without them.
|
| And Microsoft Word, though popular, is not the exclusive word-processing
| software of the federal government. For example, the Joint Forces Command is
| using OpenOffice for a small experimental project, said Kathleen Jabs, a
| spokeswoman at the command.
