I saw this on Jean Hollis Weber's blog at O'Reilly and I referenced it in my blog (although I couldn't trackback to it because I couldn't find a trackback URL on her page).
What's a trackback URL? The URL for the blog entry is http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/8154
This is very cool, although I'm sure Microsoft will say "these aren't signatures from our customers; these are people who have no intention of buying our product." Any excuse, any excuse.
It's irrelevant what Microsoft might say. In fact, I'd be absolutely delighted if Microsoft spoke out against the petition in public. More publicity for ODF!
I'm surprised that some people (not you) seem to think that the purpose of this petition is to effect change at Microsoft. Of course it would be great if the petition had that effect. But surely marketing people know that the main value of a petition like this is to generate publicity ... in this case for OpenDocument.
