Microsoft Office and OpenOffice

Although I use OOo (Open Office .org) on a very limited basis, I do support the product as a viable alternative to Microsoft Office.  Microsoft and OOo have both been pushing to have "open" standard document formats to better allow ineroperability between competing products as not all companies and consumers use the same office product.



OOo uses ODF with is the industry standard document format.  Microsoft uses Open XML and has tried to make it an industry standard.



The article linked is about Microsoft supporting ODF.  This is a good thing folks!  Article here.
