Re: [libreoffice-users] Share-point?

Hi :)
Hmmm, what worries me is "MS" and "Standards" in the same sentence.  Haven't we already learned, 
many times over, that MS's idea of 
open = closed
standards and interoperable = only works once on one system
or at least that seems to be the way it has always worked out historically.  

So while it looks good i am fairly convinced there is a trap here somewhere even if i can't see it 
and don't already know about it.  An OpenSource equivalent that uses the alleged 'standard' would 
be much more comforting.  

Regards from
Tom :)
