Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Shall we waste twelve more years promoting Free office suites instead of...

I believe that companies should use open formats, but at this point in time I have never seen a company that has moved from the standard MSO formats. This is likely because the majority has not changed to open formats. Once more people adopt using open formats, then we will likely see a change,

Two points: 1) LibreOffice only started embedding fonts in ODF files in version 4.1 (released in July 2013); MS Office files have had this ability for YEARS. In my opinion ODF files are NOW starting to be useful as an editable file exchange format. 2) Advocating ignoring MS files only makes sens

As far as I can gather, neither OASIS nor the ODF Technical Committee require a reference implementation, so none has been named. I don't know about the ISO standard, but I would assume this applies there too. That said, OO.o/LO would be considered by most as the reference implementation. As a "re
