This is ridiculous. i4i has no business in meddling with Microsoft.
i4i just wants power.
I suppose i4i is planning to sue Sun Microsystems because of OpenOffice using their XML tags.
Sorry for the overreaction.
Looks like it's back to the typewriter for business people.

don't be sorry, I agree with you
