File formats, alphabets and public money: did you know that...

,----[ Quote ]
| This said, the situation in Italy can be 
| summarized as follows: file formats are 
| alphabets, open file formats were officially 
| declared necessary at least five years ago, an 
| official organization of the Italian 
| Government says the formats of Microsoft 
| Office are not open ones, but those formats 
| are still ignored, when not actually refused, 
| in most Italian Public Administrations. Why? 
| Very often, it's just out of inertia and 
| because citizens themselves never complain. So 
| don't follow this example, check what your 
| national laws say about open file formats, 
| demand that they are applied and to know more 
| keep reading Stop!/Zona-M.
