Absolutely nothing, of course. They've promised (again) that they'll open their file formats and play nice with the FOSS community, but they haven't taken any actual action on those promises yet, AFAIK. Whether they're any more likely to do so this time around than the last half- dozen times they made essentially the same promise is left as an exercise for the reader. > While talking about MS: did they buy Yahoo (this was also on > national TV about a month ago)? As of yesterday, no, but MS appears very unlikely to give up and is making all the moves to initiate a hostile takeover. I haven't read today's news yet, but I figure it's going to be in the news for at least another couple months before finally being resolved. -- News aggregation meets world domination.
