Microsoft's Open Source Guru Faces Tough Fight

coondoggie writes "Microsoft's Sam Ramji is like a turkey knocking on Thanksgiving's door. Ramji has the unenviable task of stretching his neck out into the open source world as Microsoft's representative. On top of it, his employer has preheated the oven with years of hubris, sleights of hand and broken promises. Ramji's Sisyphean task was evident last week in Portland at the Open Source Conference (OSCon) and will likely be fuel for chatter at next week's LinuxWorld gathering in San Francisco."

    I use NeoOffice instead of MS Office.

    Have you given OOov3 a try? It's still beta 2 as of now, but I personally like it better than NeoOffice; the only thing that crashed on me was their database software; everything else seems quite stable.
