Re: Docs To Go and Abiword

Wow, this is my first experience with an open source project (even as a
user) and I must say that it does not live up to the hype and expectations.
As a matter of fact, this sounds a lot more like a Microsoft response. It
is not our fault it is theirs...tell them to fix it.

If, as you state, the rtf spec is large and complex how can you say, without
any more checking or investigation that the issue is not the fault of
AbiWord but is the fault of Dataviz? This is especially true since .doc
files from AbiWord don't sync either. While those from OpenOffice do.
