Heh. Not likely. I was hoping that the new US president would resume the 
Clinton sanctions that were conveniently watered down by the Bush 
administration. But the latest information about the inauguration seems 
to indicate that such a thing is not likely to come about and perhaps 
also no boost for alternative desktops with a move to open document 
format standards.
