Ouch. The "sort of" part there refers to the DRM'd, MS-only, clunky PDF
imitation XFS. It looks like MS will try to piggyback an attack on
Adobe via the demand for ODF.
We can use the announcement of course, but the trick will be to at the
same time jettison MS' plug-in. OOo still has the beats in ODF support,
legacy format support, MSO document repair.
So those interested in experimenting with SP2, if or when it arrives,
can prepare by adding OOo to their loadsets.
We ought to be more cunning here. As far as we know, Microsoft, through
Dough Mahue and the "DocumentInteropInitiative" or whatever they call it
already announced substantial limitations and drawbacks in their
implementation of ODF (see for instance the support of tables in Word).
Without even crying fool, we should spread a message about quality. At
least now, we know who among the two is the best office suite!
Best,
Charles.
