So who is doing the attacking in your view? I don't see anything attacking or threatening. I certainly would not make assumptions about winners or losers at this time. |

As Glynn Moody points out here http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/open-enterprise/2010/10/mic... Microsoft Gives its Blessing to OpenOffice.org. OO.o must be a real threat to MS Office, else why bother. |

Caitlyn: AFAIK already happened. MS threatened Sun with their office patents, and then they signed a cross deal including Sun's Java patents. |

always thought that was a horrible quote as it's terribly inaccurate. |

I'm also still not sure how the quote applies or who it is referring to. I do not believe that Microsoft blessed OOo in any way. As hkwint points out they entered into a patent deal with Sun because both companies had something the other wanted. |

caitlyn,Quoting:I do not believe that Microsoft blessed OOo [...]psst, it's ironic, not literal - just like the stuff I write. For example gus's peccadilloes ... YBT |

MBT: My attempt to cross-breed woodpeckers and armadillos cost me two unfortunate lab assistants, and the CIA had to step in to prevent further damage. Now I owe them, big time... |

gus, Now I am really confused. I was talking about your weight lifting enhancing your "pecs"*. If not I got to buy a better source. YBT * Pectoral muscles |

> always thought that was a horrible quote as it's terribly inaccurate. Its Gandhi, and the quote is disputed never having been actually sourced to him. |
