Friends. It is a sad news that Oracle is charging $90.00 U.S. for the ODF plugin for MS Office. http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/get.jsp The Sun ODF Plugin for Microsoft Office gives users of Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint the ability to read, edit and save to the ISO-standard Open Document Format (ODF). It was available for free before Oracle bought Sun. It is too bad for the community. Will it happen to OpenOffice and MySQL? -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My experiences with Linux are here http://goinggnu.wordpress.com For Free and Open Source Jobs http://fossjobs.in _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc -- ********************************** JAGANADH G http://jaganadhg.freeflux.net/blog -- "Freedom is the only law".
