[odf-discuss] other side of the coin

[Lars D. Noodén]

A few points to add to the ones found on that web page:

The number of surfers using Macintosh has doubled in the last 8 months, 
according to statistics from two different sources:

MSIE, the browser in mention, is not available for Macintosh, despite what 
the page claims.  See the MSIE download page, it's only available for 
legacy platforms:

There's a fair amount of overlap between our work with OpenDocument and 
other open standards / speifications regarding interoperability.  The 
formats / standards / protocols / specifications are probably too diverse 
to find any theme except the general concept and benefit of openness.  To 
that extent we can be encouraging *all* open standards in conjunction with 
these other groups.  e.g. PNG and SVG for graphics, Ogg Vorbis and FLAC 
for audio, etc.
