@arielmt But this analogy seems to miss the point somehow. On Windows, installing an additional browser is simple, and many actually do. -

@laurelrusswurm but !freesoftware does not necessarily enforce open document or communication standards. -

@laurelrusswurm Shouldn't truly _open_ document standards be considered more important? ;) -
