1. Comment - Mass. Secretary Attacks Open Doc Plan

   (Oct 27, 2005 - 12:54 AM)

   Aaaaaaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhh, all of the comments to the article are about open office vs. microsoft office. That is *NOT* the point of the switch.
   
   The point of the switch is to switch the *format* of the documents saved to an open format. That open format happens to be currently supported by open office and not microsoft office. However, the format could be supported by microsoft if they wanted to.
   
   The point of supporting an open format is that you don't have to upgrade your software, and the format won't change. You never have to wory about microsoft upgrading word and changing the format the program uses. After this change, there are no further format changes needed, unlike the constant upgrading for microsoft word and the lack of backward compatibility for some things in word.
