Notes adoption of ODF came from the merge of Workplace which was OOo 1.x modified. However this seems more like a consolidating move rather than diversification of applications. That said, I would love to see more indepth the 'server-side uptake' so that OOo can achieve the collaboration bits needed in the suite. Indeed. ODF and OOo are not correlated in terms of development, nor is the Lotus stack. But this is some very good news, and I think it's also an evidence that OOo is owned by Sun. The truth is, you have now many companies, including Sun, an important amount of community developers who are contributing to OOo. Welcome IBM!

A dwarf is a small person usually a genetic condition or lack of growth hormone so if you dwarf something you make it seem very small. So ODF use is far bigger than the current take up and use of OOXML. -- New QCA Accredited IT Qualifications www.theINGOTs.org You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.

Maybe Google and Oracle would be more likely sooner:-) Imagine Sun, IBM, Google and Oracle combining forces for an open office suite that could be desktop or web based, sleek code and a lot of brand raising. That would be good night vienna for proprietary code I think and the revenue diverted to other services and products so in the interest of any of these big players one would have thought.
