XimianDesktop2 non-free format tendencies

[Bernhard Reiter]

Just read the LWN article about Ximians Desktop2
http://lwn.net/Articles/34940/

You can learn that they install proprietary software like
a pdf and a flash plug-in with their redcarpet service.

Most disturbing is that they changed the standard save format
for Openoffice to be a propietory format,
not helping  http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html at all.
This is even bad for the companies that desktop is targetted at
and we should get the word out to this companies
that using proprietary data format is really dangerous for them.
