Re: [PLUG] John "MAD DOG" Hall in Philadelphia 10/10 (fwd)


The presentation (near as I can tell) is NOT aimed at current Linux users
(or not primarily aimed at them, anyway).  Consider the phrase "considering
this type of technology" in the announcement - it's to showcase Linux in a
SAN environment.

It's extremely difficult to avoid Word (or, more properly, the Word file
format) in a business environment, not when close to 90% of businesses use
this format for their documents. And it's a presentation aimed at
businesses.

 So don't get too bent out of shape about a file format.
