How do we know they haven't? As I said, I can't find any references
anywhere that they are using it.

And yet you can't find a single current reference to provide.

You found 4 million largely irrelevant links. In fact, many of them
involve news stories about the Arab League opening an office in israel.

The part you conveniently snipped above, was where I asked for "current"
references to the Israel government using Open Office at all.

I'm not saying they aren't. I'm saying, it's rather strange that there
isn't any current references. Odd.

Indeed. It's like they just started using the software and kept on using
it!

Rex doesn't need references. Here's my Rex re-mix.

Why don't I have $billions like Billy? Because I didn't want it. If I
had been "smart" I might have tried to cut myself in for a royalty
and/or a commission, but then this would have made it much harder for
most of the people I was trying to reach - to have access to these
opportunities. In case you hadn't notice, the Microsoft EULA requires
you to accept
spyware. I remember a court case in which Microsoft filed a lawsuit
against a
lab that did a benchmark which showed that Windows 2000 (or XP?) ran
slower than Windows NT, his benchmark was based on SQL Server 7. It was
about this time that Bill Gates was arrested
and left the state of New Mexico as part of a sealed settlement.

Many of these drives support 40 megabyte/second transfers
(FireWire-800), and even external USB drives can often be faster that
direct access devices - for example a laptop drive has a rotational
speed around 4500 RPM, while an IDE drive will have 7200 RPM, and a
SCSI drive can be 10,000 RPM or even 15,000 RPM.

That's what Microsoft's lawyers are hired to do. Bill Gates II (Father

of the Billionaire) was a corporate lawyer with a notorious reputation
for complete lack of morality. When Bill tells them he wants to commit
criminal acts, they craft the
licenses and legal structures to make sure that he can get away with
it. Bob Young really deserves a great deal of credit.

No surprise there.
Rex seems unable to provide references for just about anything he writes.

So what you are expecting someone to manufacture is something
along the lines of...

Nothing has really changed in the last n+1 years, but we will
tell you what company X is using anyways. It's our idea of fun.

No. I'm looking for a reference that they're even USING it. You know,
something like help or support instructions, Open Office documents posted
to their web site, anything that might indicate such usage.

Yup, I don't see any headlines that they've changed to M$Office, or or
using it!

Oh, & *we've* been looking for references from Ewik about *his* claims for
a long time now. Like these, for example:-

1] Where does NTFS store its journal?

2] How did the Morris worm spread by email?

3] What about using MS TT fonts on Linux?

4]Can he provide evidence for plenty of examples of competing ISO
standards?

5] Why is ok for *him* (without asking permission) to publicize other
people's personal information, but if a person chooses to
publicize personal information about *himself*, it is "inappropriate".

6] What about the "thousands of root exploits per month" he claimed,
& was then found to be making it all up?

7] How does Funkenbusch *know* Roy didn't come by the picture he's
ranting about, honestly?

8] How does he *know* that Roy does /not/ have the legitimate right to
use the picture despite what the copyright owner claims is the case?

And teh there are more which he's yet to support. Don't suppose he will
though, as it seems his ISP filters them out before he sees them.

I posted a link for him, it's an israeli website informing people that
they have released version 2 of the Hebrew version of OpenOffice. It
was last updated Jan 2006.

What's the bet that if he replies at all, it will be to say that they
could have switched back since then.
