The fact that OpenDocument is close to be an ISO standard is going to help a lot of people make the move, and help other people _force_ actors in the documentation exchange market to make the move. If institutions adopt OD as their internal document format (which is likely to happen) then commu

-Chad Smith : OOo is no where near ready for corporations. Not ones that aren't in direct competition with Microsoft anyway. That's the only reason IBM, Sun, and Novell use OOo - they don't want to use Microsoft. . And Microsoft being in competition with Apple would certainly not use Apple'

There is no migration in OOo. It is necessary to keep updating MS stuff because the proprietary file format keeps changing _and_ is not documented. OOo 1.1.n and OOo 2.0 basically use the same format, and it is documented, and access to the data does not necessitates OOo itself. OOo file format

You seem to not have understood my point. MS users _have_ to upgrade their applications because the next version document format is not documented. OOo users don't have to. Similarly, sx*/od* formated files users don't have to use OOo to use the files since the format is documented XML, there ca
