  1. Comment - Microsoft to Drop PDF Support in Office

    (Jun 4, 2006 - 5:56 PM)

    We are seeing nothing but the microsoft FUD campaign here, seemingly trying to undermine PDF.

    As far as industry groups coming out in support of microsoft. According to sourcewatch. ACT is a microsoft front group that masquerades as independant:

    “But Microsoft has also created new trade groups, the Association for Competitive Technology (ACT) and Americans for Technology Leadership (ATL), to generate support for the company through Web sites and a sophisticated and largely hidden grassroots lobbying campaign.”

    Alarm Bells should go off that MS is starting a campaign before Adobe does anything. Likely Microsoft want to violate the license and follow it's embrace, extend and co-opt model to make open standards it's own.
