MS is in a bind as they almost need to stand firm on the pricing issue so as not to invite an avalanche of "me too" negotiating ploys. What AT&T should do is ask MS for a seem less integration plug-in with OO.o file format.

A refusal to do so will almost guarantee a huge discount to make up for this affront. If nothing is fort coming that almost assures a sizable linux pilot being initiated inside AT&T.
