What you say makes sense, and is probably a good idea. But OO is
certainly the best known program to work with ODF, the people on this
list who are giving advice are generally using OO, and there is a
definite tendency to recommend OO. Sometimes telling people there is a
choice is good, but sometimes it just confuses them - they want **A**
solution to their problem. You have to get a feel for who you're giving
the advice to.

please don't mind my comment, but you might want to frame the
statements as, "You can't open (ISO standard) OpenDocument Format
files if you don't have a standards-compliant office suite, for e.g.
OpenOffice. I think there should be a wiki page to link to mention all
programs that can handle ODF and link to it. Keeping the choices open
is very crucial.
I am not saying that your english is wrong or your suggestion has
shortcomings...but it sounds like MS talk the way you mention that the
person has to have OpenOffice. You can have the same effect on the
person by talkin about relative advantages of having a complete suite
of office productivity products which allow working on ODF (ISO
approved) format.
do people somewhat agree? :D
