Hi Amit,

What you are saying is totally rubbish. If you are not aware. Microsoft 365 
actually gives you the option when  you first open one of the apps to choose an 
ODF format or the proprietary microsoft ones.

ODF might be better but not many people are using it and I don't think this is 
going to change because Microsoft Windows is on about 90% of all personal 
computer systems.

Almost all companies and almost all governments use Microsoft Office or 
compatible software.

Most of the people use Microsoft Office and compatible software so, in my 
opinion, LibreOffice should put all its resources in developing Microsoft 
Office compatible software only.

Amit
