Oh, my. Both IBM and
Sun voted for the proposal that broke the Foundation's plugin that was
going to add full-fidelity native ODF file support to Microsoft
Office. So it's sounding to me like at least two of the TC members who
voted for the Sun/KOffice proposal didn't check in with the ECIS
lawyer before they broke interoperability with Microsoft Office.

Do you think Microsoft won't use this evidence in the DG Competition
antitrust proceeding, Michael? Let's see, you guys are prosecuting
Microsoft for not supporting ODF in Microsoft Office while you block
Microsoft Office from supporting ODF. Yeah, I think DG Competition is
going to hear about this one from Microsoft. They'll probably hear
about what you said about compatibility being a trade off too. Oh,
yeah. Microsoft's lawyers are going to love this. Look at the ECIS
public statement about interoperability's importance.
