OOXML: Will Novell Come to Boogie in Geneva?
Predictions, prediction…
They predict that Microsoft will manage to have their broken standard adopted by ISO on the 1st of April 2008, after heavy lobbying and control of the discussions of the Ballot Resolution Meeting in Geneva.
This predication also says that half the table will be controlled by Microsoft (to vote on an issue related only to Microsoft). That’s how you buy an election and that, my friends, is crime in daytime. The lies, the briberies, the sacking of people who do not agree with Microsoft…
Maybe Novell, spearheaded by de Icaza et al, will come to do a superb dance and celebrate with Microsoft in Geneva. That’s just what they want, don’t they? What’s good for Microsoft is good for Novell now. And it’s all about the big money. █
Highlight: Novell was the first to acknowledge that Microsoft FUD tactics had substance. Novell then used anti-Linux FUD to market itself. 
Highlight: Xandros let Microsoft make patent claims and brag about (paid-for) OOXML support. 
Highlight: Linspire's CEO not only fell into Microsoft arms, but he also assisted the company's attack on GNU/Linux. 
Highlight: Microsoft craves pseudo (proprietary) standards and gets its way using proxies and influence which it buys. 
Highlight: The invasion into the open source world is intended to leave Linux companies neglected, due to financial incentives from Microsoft. 
Analysis: Xen, an open source hypervisor, possibly fell victim to Microsoft's aggressive (and stealthy) acquisition-by-proxy strategy.

It’s amazing how, whenever you think that your level of writing cannot drop any deeper — it immediately does!

BTW, Roy, your tagging of my comments looks more ridiculous every time. Some day they will probably longer than any of my posts, and that seems to express your concern - which again doesn’t exactly reflect much some feeling of insecurity on your part…
As well as your efforts at preventing me from posting.

You are embarrassing yourself. Stop the trolling and ad hominem attacks please, if you have nothing useful to contribute, just don’t. It may be hard for you to notice, but you don’t really HAVE to post comments in this blog…

As a Linux user it is just hard to stand by and watch you people indulge in an incestuous hatefest (as opposed to lovefest). So please bear with me if I remind you that what you indulge in is not only wrong but kind of sick.

Oh, I’m just here to remind you people that _you_ are the trolls, not me. This website is just one big, incestuous hatefest (as opposed to lovefest) and by no means represents the reasonable, average Linux user.
