EU's Anti-Trust Investigation of OOXML Continues

Posted by kdawson on from the listening-for-the-sound-of-the-fat-lady dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Since January, the EU has been investigating whether Microsoft broke anti-trust laws while advocating OOXML. That investigation continues following its passage as a standard. Meanwhile, the ISO approval of OOXML is being appealed, so Microsoft hasn't won just yet."

    I'm getting the cramped comments here with FFb5 also.

    On top of which, for some reason both this style and the atrocious crap that is "idle" both prevent Firefox from scrolling the page smoothly on my machine. Everything is horrible and jumpy and hard to follow. (Core duo, 1GB RAM, 2.6 kernel, Firefox 2.0.0.13)

    Yeah, they changed the look and feel and functionality it seems. It's kind of off putting... I just noticed that this comment reply box is actually nested in the thread now as opposed to loading an entire new window. I guess the dynamic loading might be better for slashdot? But I have no idea. Strangely enough, the only thing I've found that I like about this new system is this embedded comment. Everything else looks glitzed up for the sake of a new coat of paint, and not functional to me. But to each their own, I suppose. And /. is free, so I guess I can't exactly pick and choose what I want out of a list of features. YMMV. Now where is the submit button... I see preview... Ah, preview then submit. Touche. Pretty slick, guys.

    Sometimes I wonder if I think too much.

    I actually like the fact that they are putting the border around the comments that encloses the replies. It makes it easier to follow long threads where it sometimes becomes a pain to track back to a parent comment, especially when they all use the same subject line (e.g. Re:Cramped comments). The nested reply box is cool too :)

    There does seem to be about a 1/2 inch margin around the comments though, and I'm not too wild about that. I think 1/8 inch or so would be sufficient.
