I filmed Miguel on three occasions, and I can tell you that he is really
gung-ho about FOSS and freedom.  He believes that we will not succeed
without a strong FOSS commercial presence, and he thinks that the borg is
going to loose market share.  He sees cross-platform apps as eroding MSFT
market share.

But saying that MOOX is a good standard is a little bit off.  I guess that
what he is saying is that Microsoft Office is robust, which is true, except
for the fact that it is born broken because it is locked down.  In other
words, if it weren't for the locked down license and binary poison pills in
MOOX, would you like MOOX?  Maybe that is what he is saying.
