  1. Re:What kind of a "standard" is this? on W3C Says IE9 Is Currently the Most HTML5 Compatible Browser · · Score: 1

    W3C doesn't create standards, they document status-quo as a recommendation for standardization. Most major browser vendors have a chair on the W3C, and they hash out differences there, however many browsers have not fully implemented what people want in HTML5 or even HTML4 for that matter fully. The lesser used features are not implemented consistently, so the W3C cannot really document them accurately without much discussion. Basically the typical model for standard creation does not exists here. There is no reference implementation like there is in all of the examples you mention.

    This is not a troll... The problem with your assertion is that you believe Open Office to be a competing product to Microsoft Office; it isn't. This is not the same as Firefox vs IE6, Firefox was a way better product and the market saw this and switched. This will not happen here because even without the oft touted file format lock in, Office is still a solid choice in my opinion.

  16. Re:Sinking Ship. on Microsoft Office 2007 to Support ODF - But Not OOXML · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's current policy on standards has totally changed, this is expected behavior in my opinion. We no longer live in the J++ and JScript days. Web is the future and the web is based on standards not just because of Firefox vs Internet Explorer vs Opera but because of mobile, desktop and embedded. Microsoft understands that to achieve market penetration they need to adopt and work with standards in their products. This behavior is also seen in products from Adobe and other large software vendors.

  24. Re:It would be good... on The REAL Reason We Use Linux · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The problem with your stance is your emotionally charged world view concerning something that is intrinsically neutral; thus you to polarize everything that you reasonably can with a good or evil bias where none is necessary leading to your irrational position as stated above.
