ZDNET: If Oracle can buy out Open Source, why not Microsoft?
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=164
What if Microsoft went out and bought OpenOffice.org which competes
with Microsoft Office or if Microsoft bought out Open-Xchange which
competes with Microsoft Exchange server?

I thought that was much of the goal with Mono - to take OSS developers out
of circulation and put them to work on something 100% dependend on MS.
Seriously though, MS has been a growth-though-acquisition style company
buying companies if it can't make a deal to get the technology, and

Where can I find large icons for OOo components?
Presumably they are in the source code, but it would take ages for me to
download it and rummage there. Where else might I find the icons?
I'm looking for something large enough to re-use in brochures and posters.

As I understand it, the way that OOo is licensed, if Sun were to be

becoming a foundation with independent developers continuing its

Stupid, stupid, stupid. I meant to say developers. That's why I
shouldn't do 5 things at once. If MS bought Sun they could tell 80% of
OOo developers to work on something else.

Hi,
All I've ever wanted since openoffice saw the light of day is a simple

Can you be a little more specific? I certainly had no trouble making a
regression line in OOo
Yes, it would slow things down for a while, but as Robert mentioned OOo
would probably just fork and there would be a substantial delay while
things get re-organized.
MS had been bothering Sun earlier, but I think that it's more likely that

I am quite familiar with MS-Access. I use the feature of being able to
link tables from different databases using ODBC entries (DSN).
How do I do the same within OO-Base?
For example, I need to link into a postgresql table, an MS-Access table,
and text files, all which have ODBC DSN's.

If you read my post thoroughly, you'll see that I wrote the EQUATION of
the regression line. If one can make it appear in the chart, it sure
makes one the trickiest and most undocumented features I've ever bumped
into..or I'm very stupid, which I'd like to imagine I'm not.

Probably. Right now OOo benefits hugely from Sun's developers. Any
transition to an independent foundation would have to factor that into the
process.
