Re: [libreoffice-users] There goes Open-Source in the White House

Hi :)
+1
But to be fair on them they do need to push US companies into becoming more 
profitable and MS has not grown as fast as they hoped in certain areas such as 
tablets, netbooks (and even notebooks), mobile devices, smart-phones, servers, 
Cloud, search engine and have lost ground in areas such as web-browsers.  Can 
almost imagine them - Oh no! What to do?? Quick get an MS person into the White 
House.  


Oddly they don't seem to realise that they could make other US companies even 
more profitable by promoting OpenSource and forcing MS to compete more fairly on 
grounds of functionality rather than sheer might.  


All just my own opinion of course.  If i get thrown off the list then at least 
it was fun!  

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

The problem is not with the Chief Information Officer, buy with the Chief 
Community Organizer that appointed him knowing that the CIO is a MS shill, and 
with those who elected a know-it-all know-nothing to move into the White House.
