The Oxford English Dictionary says the word "gadget" is a placeholder name for a technical item whose precise name one can't remember. Like that book-reader thingy from Amazon...what's it called? Spindle, Gindle...Kindle, that's it. Check it out in this month's gadget issue.
Other gadgets covered include the Nokia tablets, the BlackBerry, the Neo FreeRunner, the Dash Express, the Roku Netflix Player, the Kangaroo TV, The TomTom GO 930 and the MooBella Ice Cream System.

"Hope" is not a good strategy when dealing with Microsoft.

"Of course there is no guarantee that MS won't decide down the road to make one of their currently open specifications closed. Hopefully by the time that point came, there would be enough customers using the open source version that doing so would defeat the purpose."
You should help Novell do a better job explaining and developing this strategy to move customers to open source.
Hope and Microsoft are like oil and water, they don't mix.
And as time goes by and more and more documents are saved in OOXML it will become a defacto standard. The Growth of OOXML documents should be discouraged.
"You have to provide customers the ability to read/write their existing documentation while they migrate to OpenOffice."
How about read OOXML and save in ODF?
The Novell Strategy with Microsoft needs to be more aggresive and better explained on the Novell HOMEPAGE, so that anybody that wants to work with Novell knows for certain that their efforts and their customers will not help Microsoft in any way shape or form.
