This seems more like MS FUD, than facts, but by commenting we can set the record straight, open office can load / save office 07 files for example, Ubuntu is for more than just programming, even though that option is nice, something I can't use windows for unless i buy more software. Ubuntu may not be able to run MS office directly but it can using crossover office, or install Open office which I assume by 3.1 can now open / save office 07 file format. Odf is also an ISO standard, so that may be significant, or pushing it a bit too far for them to cope with. Perhaps we can work out what to write here, submit that, Paul - -- Paul Sutton www.zleap.net Ubuntu 9.10 out 29th October 2009 - www.ubuntu.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkrfPn8ACgkQaggq1k2FJq05vgCePWNBRan77IA1assdOFMXzeO3 HpUAn2+HVjsZSQ34BGrqEyz70sbXKbV2 =7Nof -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
