Some of the more rational at M$ are seeing the light. If you can't beat them join them. I expect to see LinWord by mid 2007.

Well, they did have a study in the news recently that says that (unless MS can outlaw Linux) they are inevitably going to lose ... and a lot of MS's recent behaviour is exactly in line with what the study said MS would *have* to do in order to prolong their survival.

So if there are rational business managers at MS (big if :-) then MS are simply preparing for the day when Windows becomes irrelevant ...

Cheers,
Wol
