I can imagine a world with <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/wordperfect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wordperfect</span></a>, and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/OpenOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenOffice</span></a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LibreOffice</span></a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/StarOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarOffice</span></a> and so on ... it was a good world with open standards.<br>I was not brave enough to say it lol. Many people here.</p><p>--</p><p>And don't take me wrong, I like <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a>, I work here, there are many things good and good people. </p><p>But there was also a dark past, and still sometimes dubious decisions and investment.</p>
