This is true for corporations, nothing specific to Microsoft. That is why you need Open implementations and the ratification of a standards body.

And there is even CMIS plugins for Drupal. There are several other CMIS implementations, see the CMIS Wiki page - they even have a column indicating if the implementation is Open Source or not. -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
