Help Apple realize they need to support ODF! Sign the petition.

I am posting a link to this article, simply to spread the sentiment with others. I would very much love for Microsoft’s market share to be traded with various Linux and UNIX distros. How much better off consumers would be if the attitude that we should bend over and take what Microsoft gives us was replaced by Open Source philosophy. I hope Microsoft’s market share gets smaller and smaller, until they no longer have the power to cram DRM and other crap down our throats.

This isn’t necessarily a vote for Apple either. Don’t misunderstand, as great as their stuff is, they still DRM media. They just aren’t nearly as bad as Microsoft.

Here we have a list of web pages detailing why Microsoft is bad. I mean, how retarded can you get?! For those of you who don’t know, Microsoft is attempting to “legitimately” force an open XML implementation through the ISO (International Standards Committee). The standard, if one applies to term quite loosely, only differentiates itself from OpenDocument format.
