1. Comment - Librarians Voice Support for OpenDoc

   (Dec 17, 2005 - 9:33 AM)

   XML as promoted by MS has not yet been used in any product! It doesn't currently 'exist' in any product that MA could even use! Oh, yes, it is purported to be released in a future product, but, we have all heard that before!
   
   ODF exists in products, freely distributed, plus, in retail boxes (for the 'support' packages).
   
   Funny, but, the freely available Open Office and Sun Star Office suites can read all MS Word formats back to the beginning. MS office products can only read back two revision levels.
   
   The Open Office and Star Office run on most platforms.
   Microsoft's Office product runs only on their current proprietary platform. Without Open Source innovation you'd need their past licenses, on appropriate hardware, running those older Office suites, to read any documents beyond the past two revisions.
   
   What a total RIP OFF, but, what did you expect from the multiple convicted FELON Microsoft?
