Backhanded compliment from Eric

God I hate the Microsoft website. Not only is it hideously difficult to
navigate, search, and use it also has horrible links but anyway Eric Sink
has been writing and as he often does he has name checked Abiword
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnsoftware/html/software07072004.asp

"Some folks look at projects like AbiWord or ReactOS and all they see are
people who are wasting their time by cloning mature Microsoft products."
but he goes on to write
"People who genuinely love to write code often turn out to be the "very
best" developers."

A backhanded compliment but a compliment nonetheless to the work you guys
do and nice to know Eric still thinks of Abiword after all these years.

The rest of the article is generally interesting but doesn't have
anything to do with abiword.

Sincerely

Alan Horkan
