Hi :)
What!!  An "agreed" 'Open' Standard that MS never quite implemented in the way 
they had promised but still managed to push as the unifying standard that all other 
companies had to follow.  The format they promised would have long term support so that 
historical archives and such could reliably store documents for the long-term future in 
much the way that books have lasted.  The one that no-one other than MS (hmm, not even 
MS) managed to implement because MS never quite got around to publishing how they had 
messed up the format in any particular release.  The format that resulted in court 
actions which MS apparently lost.  The one that MS is quietly dropping support for and 
not developing any further so that all existing problems remain.
Dear Tom,

do you have any references to those court cases? Sounds very interesting. RTF is in Slovakia one of the officialy approved standards to be used by public administration (besides pdf, odf and HTML). Of course, since MS is everywhere and everybody uses RTF. Information about those court trials would be a nice argument against RTF, the compatibility of which in LO/OO/OOO is really pain. This would show why is it so.

Luckily we have all learned our lesson and anyway MS wouldn't try to fool us 
the same way again, right? lol ;)
Regards from
Tom :)

RTF never really worked in OOo nor LibO and there are reasons why:
