micros0ft Buys OpenOffice.org |
Posted: Sun 02 Apr, 2006 |
|
Micahel West writes "As reported on OpenOffice.org: 'For an undisclosed sum but reputed to be in the billions, micros0ft's Bill Gates has personally bought the leading open-source desktop project. Saying he "was sick and tired of open-source eating away at his profits," the world's richest man decided to put an end to the nuisance and simply buy OpenOffice.org. It will form part of a growing list of micros0ft acquisitions including several erstwhile competitors, a considerable number of prominent politicians, and a few small governments |
