    Sigh...here we go again: Calibri was designed and released in 2004 to Microsoft, and first released as a part of Windows Vista beta in Nov 2006, and RTM was in 2007 as a part of Office 2007. Businesses do not use beta software in live environments - ever. Usually they're 1-2 releases behind...

    Microsoft’s default font is at the center of a government corruption case

    1. The image of the document being shared has signatures dated Feb 2006 - so the excuse that the fonts might've changed cannot be used here. 2. I highly doubt professional law firms use custom fonts for their legal documents which are unavailable in newer versions of office.

    Auto Policy 2016-21 Unable to Bring Any Change in Auto Industry As Yet

    This article is rehashing old news. Brown-field investment for Dewan has been approved by EDB...but that is one part of the chain. Expect it to go through. The other players have already started importing vehicles for testing - Nishat has imported Hyundai H1 van, Tucson SUV and H100 pickup...

    Auto policy approved, door wide open for new entrant

    You're right. Which is why local players are putting up their own money to set up the plants. Nishat-Hyundai venture for making Passenger cars - A reality. Nishat is putting up the money Lucky-Kia venture for making Passenger cars - A reality. Lucky Group is putting up the money...

    Pakistan's booming car market attracts global attention

    You lul, 2015 had the Suzuki PM scheme in effect, which effectively doubled the sales of Ecocabs and pickups (i.e. Suzuki Bolan and Ravi) - this is why 2016 doesn't seem like a large rise - but it is.
