After months of fighting, it seems like the worst has happened...

Poster posts in wrong forum! April Fools Day finished over 6 hours ago! Go to General where you can be mocked relentlessly!

Debian != General!

I posted a message to NEWS and I think its moderated. 2hours later, As I have no answer by email, I post in my prefered forum: Debian ( Only post this year from me which is not in the proper forum )
Sorry for annoyance

Not where I am sitting !


Ah you got me, its april fools
:D

Oh my... for a second you had me going. Now I remember why I hate 1st April :)

LOL, not bad even that I do think it's possible that thing like that will happen.

damn ! i can breath again !!

2030 !! no way, MS office will take uptil 2050 atleast to match openoffice !!

Happy (belated ) april Fools Day !! :)

Microsoft has really tried every which way to circumvent open standards and now with Office 12, they are going to introduce OpenXML(tm) which combines ZIP and XML and is available royalty free if you subscribe to OpenXML!?!? Serious. But heres the funny part of it. They are going to introduce one more file extension ???x (xlsx, docx, pptx ...) and it will be the default. I cant imagine the integration scenario with one release of the same single OS suite.
