[WikiEN-l] Microsoft asks for NPOVing of OOXML articles

Note that the person writing that appears entirely on the level, by
the way. Heck, he posted openly about Microsoft asking him about it.

Personally, I've found getting NPOV on [[OpenOffice.org]] a goddamn
nightmare, and I'm a fan. There's something about open-source and
free-software related articles that attracts REALLY OBNOXIOUS
partisans, who don't understand NPOV and don't care - they see
Wikipedia as another platform for advocacy. [[Internet Explorer]] is a
carefully written NPOV article, most free-software articles have
fallen entirely to the advocates. This is a bad thing.

If you want to check editing on the subjects, by the way, please
remember not to bite the newbies!
