Open standards

1. Don't used closed formats for files. If they REALLY think their new Office format is better than OpenOffice's, then make it open. It's in their best long term interest anyway. Make NTFS open. Stop changing formats every time another program figures a way to write to it. Having interchangable formats is a way to be a good fellow citizen of the world, and to stop appearing like a bully.
2. Stop giving money to SCO and others who attack OpenSource products.
3. Play fair.
