Microsoft Buys OpenOffice.org 124

Micahel West writes "As reported on OpenOffice.org: 'For an undisclosed sum but reputed to be in the billions, Microsoft's Bill Gates has personally bought the leading open-source desktop project. Saying he "was sick and tired of open-source eating away at his profits," the world's richest man decided to put an end to the nuisance and simply buy OpenOffice.org. It will form part of a growing list of Microsoft acquisitions including several erstwhile competitors, a considerable number of prominent politicians, and a few small governments.'"

Journal Journal: Flaming, and foes

Well, thankyou 0racle. I have now made an enemy, but I'm not sure why.

I guess it's due to this submission, but i don't really know.

I did seem to draw a lot of flak for that, at least in part because the sentiment of the article was pro-MS, and i didn't bother to proof the post properly before sending it (damn you, editors, for not correcting my typos :P).
