Microsoft makes Office an 'open standard' ----------------------------------------- "Microsoft is loosening licensing rules on Office 2003 formats in order to get around new "open standard" restrictions to be adopted by the US state of Massachusetts, according to a state official.
The move puts Microsoft on a better footing to compete against open-source applications and non-proprietary document formats. Governments around the world have begun to reconsider the use of proprietary formats, which usually lock them into using particular applications and may hinder archiving efforts." http://www.techworld.com/applications/news/index.cfm?NewsID=2952 ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!
