Well, I don't think anyone else would actually want to use the format, so I'm not sure it makes a difference that Microsoft controls the standard. The only point of having it is being able to migrate away (import/export). To share the pst file with Outlook, you are better off instead going through a published API that will allow you to share access to the database better. So, seems like a good thing. It's always important to be able to get your data out of a proprietary product. In fact I am surprised most corporations don't consider it an absolute necessity to have a data migration path off of any proprietary binary formats deployed widely in the organization. -- John. _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
