Novell and Ximian The first fruit of the recently announced Novell/Microsoft interoperability agreement arrived on Dec. 4, with Novell's announcement that its version of the OpenOffice productivity suite will now support the Microsoft Office Open XML format. The release candidate of Novell's modified version of OpenOffice.org 2.02 is now available for Windows for free download by registered Novell users.

It is a fact that the Mono project "stole" the ideas for C#, the .NET Class Library, and then proceeded to call it "Mono". You claimed that this sort of thing doesn't happen -- and when confronted with the bullsh*t in your statements, proceeded to debate over whether certain individuals are "OSS fundies"; which has nothing to do with the issue. Turn off your reality distortion field.

Since Microsoft claim that .NET is an open standard, the Mono project can't have stolen anything unless, of course, it's not really open.

A not-really-open standard from Microsoft? Whatever next.
