The guys over at fixoutlook.org have sent a clever message to Microsoft complaining over their choice to use Microsoft Word as the HTML renderer in Outlook 2010. Their decision to effectively cripple their Outlook software has angered developers, as the result is that Word does not support standards based HTML, and will make our lives very hard, if not impossible, when it comes to sending formatted emails to Outlook users.

In just over 3 weeks, their campaign has gained the support of nearly 25,000 people, including Letopedia, but Microsoft continues to back their decision. Although we only use web-based email systems in house, and have had a very positive experience with Google Mail for Google Apps Premium, we would never go back to using Outlook, but many people we email as part of the use of our software will be using Outlook.

The mosaic is being sent to William Kennedy, VP of Office at Microsoft, in an effort to reverse his decision; it is composed of all the avatars of all the users that took up the issue, and our Twitter avatar will be in their somewhere, we wish them good luck with their campaign.

This is our avatar as it appears on the mosaic.
