Hmm, so this is why MS Office formats aren’t nice?

Yes, today is a first for my blog – two posts in one day!

I was checking out Anne’s blog earlier and came across this link (PDF doc), which looks as though it’s an internal email from Bill Gates himself, talking (pretty franky, I may add) about the need for Office formats to rely on the proprietary capabilities of IE.

The PDF in question resides in a directory at egde-op.org – there’s lots of other emails in that directory, if you fancy a browse. I’m guessing (only from the directory name, and Plaintiff’s Exhibit stamp) that this is some public evidence relating to the Iowa Consumer Case vs Microsoft.

Interesting reading anyway.
