Now that is interesting! Not so many years back, there was a deep suspicion of open source programs. It is excellent complex systems like Libreoffice that have paved the way towards widespread acceptance of open source. Also, it is becoming recognised that ODF is a certified ISO standard, whereas the de facto Microsoft file formats are less reliable and non-portable. I am sure that Microsoft's adoption of the x file formats (docx etc) has in the long term done the corporation a lot of harm. Microsoft has been forced into supporting ODF and is clearly very annoyed by this. A little humility and listening to ordinary folk might have gone a long way.
