Hi!
Y'know the comical thing is: when I read the subject line I had a sudden
vision of Microsoft finally giving in and going open-source! ;-)

I've also been looking at the Open Documents thread. I think it was
the last time we met, at a government consultation about this issue.
Government grinds very slowly .... Schools are still teaching
Microsoft .... BUT with kids using Android tablets things are going
to have to change in that area. I suspect that Kingsoft Office will
be the main contender as it is compatible with MS file formats. I'm
delighted with the way in which the IT world is changing.
Unfortunately there is still no Android version of Libre/Open Office -
there is one for Ipad, which is odd, and there's an ODF viewer, but
Kingsoft Office can't open ODF documents....
