Same in this morning's Dom-Post.  There was the Maori language item and
immediately below it, how Microsoft was promoting a standard Office format (the
smokes and mirrors version that requires a licence effectively excluding GPL
code).  On top of that a NZ M$ spokesman saying that CEO's and CIO's had to take
more responsibilty for computer security (forgetting that charity begins at
home).  Seems the Dom-Post'd IT braincell must have been absent that day, so
they run M$ PR instead.
