Good morning Tom ;) Although I agree with most of your arguments, Microsoft's position on Office has changed a lot lately.
First it is almost impossible to buy a new Win7 machine which doesn't have some version of Office bundled. It varies from a Trial version to a Starter version and sometimes even the whole Office is included. On a second (and probably more important) front, Microsoft silently retired the Office Genuine Advantage check which prevented illegal copies to be updated http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/microsoft-quietly-shuts-down-office-genuine-advantage-program/2798 I think that Microsoft is taking measures to prevent it's users to shift to an Open Source Office suite ;) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Ellison-s-Oracle-washes-hands-of-OpenOffice-tp2826546p2827501.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
