Avande CEO not too bright? (4.00 / 2) (#21)

Was just reading over this article:

Q&A: Avanade's CEO weighs in on Microsoft, open-source, ODF (that's actually the second page)

And noted this quote about ODF:

Do you see any interest by companies to adopt the OpenDocument standard? I haven't seen any interest. Anything that's government-sponsored, ask yourself, is it still around?

Sigh. I guess he is not aware that both OASIS and ISO are NOT "government-sponsored". And apparently he is not aware of the many ISO standards that companies try to implement covering a variety of issues.

Another good one was:

Since most of your clients are big Microsoft users, how much Linux do you see? Linux is mostly about replacing Unix. Sometimes you see a customer want to use Linux for real foundation services like directory, or file and print. But not often.

"Sometimes" customers want to use Linux for the foundation? "Sometimes"? I don't know. I thought as servers was where Linux especially shines and is slowly but surely taking over.

What do I know though. Unlike Avande, I'm not over half-owned by Microsoft.
