Fleury pulls a fast one also.

They cant stand if someone is better than them.

Too bad many FOSS projects have been infested by M$ sponsored people.

Asay is also a friend of Hilf.

It now turns out that even the head of The 451 Group was invited to Redmond. I’ll write about it shortly. They are trying to buy love and prodding bloggers/analysts to invite them to the ‘family’ (“come on, come on, don’t be so anti-Microsoft, show the world you love us”).

Asay is somewhat optimistic that such a deal could be a big turning point for Microsoft – toward open source.
“I actually think that Yahoo! gives Microsoft a chance to open up. I’m convinced that significant swaths of Microsoft are keen to open up (open source, open standards, open APIs) and Yahoo! gives them a convenient excuse to persuade Ballmer that this makes compelling business sense for them,” Asay added.

“They don’t have much of an alternative. There’s simply no way for it to move all of Yahoo! including Zimbra over to .Net and other Microsoft technologies, not if it wants to lead technically and to retain employees,” he said. “So, I see Microhoo as being good for Microsoft and good for Zimbra, ultimately. If Microsoft proves foolish enough to gut Zimbra’stechnology, then listen for the bell tolling its demise.

Promote the petition to help Zimbra stay independent (or at least make as much noise and resist the assault by MSFT as long as possible)

IMHO the only sage way to save Zimbra would be to licence the community edition undert the GPLv3.

Look at the photo here:

Do you really think that person is goingrespect the Zimbra community and to keep a sensible strategy towards Zimbra in detriment of Exchange if he gets his way?

“The reason this bug exists is because Exchange doesn’t use standard compliant time zone information, but Apple does so, leading to two different time zone formats. As a result, iCal can’t figure out what the correct time zone is from Exchange iCal invitations. Here’s a quick example of the South African time zone differences between the two:

Exchange format: (GMT+02.00) Harare/Pretoria
iCal format: Africa/Johannesburg

This means that when a meeting request comes in from a Windows PC, iCal can’t read data beyond the GMT+02.00 and it simply adds on two hours to the event. So a meeting sent from Exchange, scheduled for 14:00, actually appears in iCal as 16:00. We’ve missed many a meeting as a result !”

This is quite disgusting. It’s no wonder Apple can’t fix this mess. This is yet another proof that Microsoft has no intention of playing nice with others.

The Netscape ghost takes his revenge finally. IBM OS/2 ghost also got his share of revenge – Finally Netscape can now R.I.P.

hum…i see that ISO (yet to be) didn’t make any difference in Office win, but sure heck gave a lot of publicity to OpenOffice.org I guess M$ looses this round – it fired back, I see even more OO.o migrations happening lately – big time.
