[vtkusers] DEFEND OPEN STANDARDS : NO to the Microsoft Office format as an ISO standard

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Ken,

You are right,

This message is indeed off-topic to the list
and I shouldn't have posted it here.

---

I probably overreacted to the psychological fear
that the next move will be to make Visual Studio
become the ISO C++ standard.

---

My apologies to the list.


   Regards,


      Luis
