[plug] Oxymoron: Microsoft, innovation

[Jason Posavec]

Are all the Pluggers in positions of influence encouraging their 
companies to use ODF  where possible? And when told that Microsoft 
Office doesn't support this format, are they then explaining that OOo 
has all the functionality of MO, but without the productivity-robbing 
bells and whistles?

Forcing somebody to change completely to Linux in one step is a huge 
ask. But walking them one application at a time (OOo, Firefox, 
Thunderbird, GIMP, Jabber) until there's nothing left but the OS to 
change might not be such a sudden shock.
