This would close some of the loopholes, better define middleware, require Microsoft to continue Office development for Macintosh and to develop a version of Office for Linux, among other things." There's also a Cringely column about the case. Somehow the phrase "Microsoft Office for Linux" has gotten people all fired up. Do you really want a version of Office for Linux? Really?

    No although after I wrote that I went out and found one http://packages.debian.org/unstable/non-us/rdeskto p.html I like VNC and have used it in many places for many years. I like many people are stuck in a half and half world and I find myself with admin passwords on many Winders 2000 boxen and using terminal server in Winders 2000 often. VNC can't do it. I'll have to see how well this package does. :)
