I have read the white paper (why it is called white is another story) and I think that it is the usual market nonsense. Microsoft is loosing money and they want to find a way to get their former customers back. An interesting comment included in this "white" paper is the following one: Microsoft Office 2010 boosts Indian IT firm's productivity by 30 percent. I just wonder how the prodictivity of an IT company is increased by using a word processor or a lousy database? A.S. -- Apostolos Syropoulos Xanthi, Greece
