David Berlind suspects Microsoft muscle and money is behind the official opposition to the Commonwealth’s standardizing on the OpenDoc format. And David makes the right point bluntly:

All Microsoft must do to prove its point — that Massachusetts has some anti-Microsoft agenda designed to keeps its products off its procurement lists — is call Massachusetts’ bluff. The company doesn’t have to lift one engineering finger. All it must do is issue a press release announcing that it will support for ODF.

Call, raise or fold, Microsoft. [Tags: microsoft DavidBerlind opendoc]
