Hello all,
Microsoft has said that they will support OpenDocument in MS Office if
there is customer demand for it.
The OpenDocument Fellowship has started a petition for Microsoft to
support OpenDocument. To show that there /is/ demand for OpenDocument:
<SNIP>
I just signed the petition a short while ago (while admittedly I am not
a user of Microsoft's software). However, I also forwarded your post
(almost verbatim) to my family (most whom still are Msft customers), and
the core Christian libre software community, many of whom still use
Windows software. Even though I do not use Microsoft's software, I
still have a vested interest in being able to share documents with those
who do. I don't understand why not being a Microsoft customer would
make my signature somehow illegitimate, as some have suggested. Even if
Microsoft claims I am not *their* customer, I have to work with their
customers all the time. So those of us who use OOo on GNU/Linux (or
whatever office suite on whatever OS) have a legitimate reason to ask
them to support ODF.
As with others on this list, I agree that the ODF petition is relevant
to the Marketing list, since ODF support is a selling point for OOo.
Regards,
Don
