Dear friends, Please see my article on why India should adopt open standards and a response from Microsoft at http://www.infochangeindia.org/analysis236.jsp Microsoft's respose is actually a big joke. For instance, they claim that "Microsoft software is completely interoperable.". And just yesterday Microsoft has been fined a record $1.35 billion precisely for not providing information to enable interoperability! A response to Microsoft is on my blog http://swatantryam.blogspot.com/ since Infochange was not willing to publish my response. Best -- Dr. V.
