On the occasion of the release of WordPerfect for Linux, we would like to extend Corel Corp. a hearty welcome to the growing desktop market! Corel has a history of working with Linux and helping to advance the use of Linux on the desktop and in the business world, so we find this new release of one of your flagship products to be a very significant and positive event. Your gutsy move to port WordPerfect to Linux places the company at the intersection of smart business strategy and doing what is best for the global community of infocentric citizens. However, if we could make just one request?
Hmm...Are we seeing more quality from Newsforge here? From the article:
Quoting:
...by rallying around the OASIS committee and its recommended formats (originally developed by the OpenOffice.org project). OASIS members already include Corel, KDE, and many other respected groups.
Seems to make the whole article rather pointless. Have I missed the point? I would think that if you are a member of a standards committee you would be agreeing to implement that standard. Where, therefore, does this open letter come into things? I think I know what the purpose is, but I didn't think Newsforge quality had sunk as low as to become pure propogandists. It was this kind of writing dominating that stopped me reading Newsforge anyway (after their appalling dump of a great format, and M$ ads.).
