An opening for OpenOffice.orgAn opening for OpenOffice.orgPosted Sep 11, 2003 2:41 UTC (Thu) by fozzy (subscriber, #7022)Parent article: An opening for OpenOffice.org Let us assume M$ are doing this for the best of reasons (a big assumption I know!). I imagine there are legitimate business reasons for wanting to stop documents going where they shouldn't, etc. M$ is responding to that need. My question to the community is how do we supply these "features" to users? What sort of non-lockin infrastructure could be implemented to provide this? I'm optimistic. In one sense this is really a backdoor attempt at another Passport/Hailstorm/.Net lock-in. We managed to kill that. I presume we'll do the same with this. I should say, I'm no fan of DRM. But I am pragmatic enough to realise that many would see it to be a valuable tool for stopping organisational leaks.
