The ODF debate: A real world view
,----[ Quote ]
| Taking an example from another industry, when Led Zeppelin recorded
| their concerts at Knebworth in 1979 they did so on 2" video tape that
| 25 years later was a challenge to read, requiring a baking process as
| well as a trip to the Far East to find a still working player. Setting
| aside whether this material is mission critical to rock fans, setting
| yourself up for a similar problem from proprietary and unsupported
| file formats is unthinkable in a business context--isn't it?
|
| Well, this is the question lying at the heart of a debate that is raging
| at the moment, largely between open source advocates and their arch
| enemy, Microsoft.
