i went to a Dell kiosk a month after Vista came out. None of the laptops had Vista loaded on them. The home boxes did though.
It was a lame effort by Dell and no wonder the kiosks are going to be gone.
John,
I have reason to believe this issue against OOXML has been going on for quite some time. I interviewed a guy here in Europe about this OOXML after he gave a presentation about it at a big tech conference and claimed he was a leader in a group against OOXML. The material I have is some video from the conference and some as yet un-aired audio interview with this guy and his associate talking about how they helped stop this format from becoming a “standard”.
Please contact me if you have any interest in this at all…..
Thanks,
