Enviar a la gente documentos en formato Word tiene efectos perniciosos,
porque esta práctica los insta a utilizar software de Microsoft. En
efecto, Usted se convierte en un sostén del monopolio de Microsoft. Este
problema específico es un gran obstáculo a la adopción más amplia de

la
comunicación con otras personas?
