  3. Re:This thought crosses my mind a lot. on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 1

    I do realize that. But then again, I've been told that for as long as I can remember.
    The part that strikes me this time, is the year 2045...

  8. Re:Interoperability? on Bill Gates Claims OSS Has Poor Interoperability · · Score: 1

    Yes. You're right. It's "supported". But only as an import/export option...

    Furthermore Outlook (2000) imports only the first vCard (after the user has confirmed it) in a file containing more than one vCard, which makes distributing an addressbook as vCards a living hell. Oh, the "supported" version is 2.1, not the "new" 3.0 one from 1998...

    I never got the iCal support working but, as mentioned in http://www.scheduleworld.com/outlookInteroperabili ty.html section 2, there are subtleties involved here.

  9. Interoperability? on Bill Gates Claims OSS Has Poor Interoperability · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Then how come M$ not keen on using open standards?

    Take Outlook for instance.
    Works great with M$Exchange, but how about the support for SyncML, iCal, vCard and so on?...
