Interoperability statement 'Orwellian' -------------------------------------- "Con Zymaris, chief executive officer of Cybersource, said a statement that for anyone to claim that "proprietary, locked-in Windows is more interoperable than open, standards-oriented Linux" ranked with statements like "Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength" found in the Orwell classic 1984." ... "Zymaris cited the case of OpenOffice.org and Mozilla Firefox, both of which were available on multiple platforms, allowing interoperability beyond the realm of a single vendor. Both programs were also standards compliant, adhering to the OASIS (Organisation for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) draft standards for XML document formats (OpenOffice.org) and the modern W3C HTML and CSS specifications (Firefox)."
