[odf-discuss] Huge Success for the ODF Community - Erwin's StarOffice Tango

[Russell Ossendryver]

*Huge Success for the ODF Community
*First, I warmly welcome Microsoft to the community of ODF supporters. As
most of you will have noticed by now, Microsoft just
announced<http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/press/2008/may08/05-21ExpandedFormatsPR.mspx>that
they will start supporting ODF out of the box with Service Pack 2 for
Microsoft Office 2007. My favorite statement from the Microsoft announcement
is the following promise: "It will also allow customers to set ODF as the
default file format for Office 2007." Thus, very soon it should be very easy
for organizations to standardize their document workflows on ODF, because
the "average employee" does not need any special skills for saving to ODF
anymore. Very cool!
