Politician pushing open sauce gets visit from Microsoft gang

Ed Holman, who represents a central Florida constituency in the state's legislature, didn't say what kind of suits they were wearing but apparently the Volistas aren't very keen on ODF for rather obvious reasons.

A lot of this lobbying is going on, says Market Watch, whose story is here. µ
