you do not need to install a non-free operating system nor a non-free software
package to read documents generated by MS-Office 2007 as it can handle the
opendocument format

they are being pressured to do so (governments of a lot of countries are
switching to opendocument), and if they do not want to lose government and large
enterprises contracts they will

if they do not implement opendocument in ms-office well, it will be their fault

if openoffice.org doesn't handle well ooxml, it's our fault, no matter what
microsoft has done or how it has implemented or tweaked his own standard (look
at internet explorer, java, etc it's nothing new). the industry has to adapt
itself to microsoft while they try to break things up, the point where we have
always been

supporting ooxml while it's even beeing considered as a iso standard yet could
risk this opportunity (they are trying to bypass opendocument), as ooxml could
be considered an alternative, an microsoft wouldn't be forced to support
opendocument anymore. we'll be where we always have been...
