According to
BetaNews
, Microsoft has announced that they
will support OpenDocument (ODF) and PDF in Office 2007 SP2
. This comes as a major victory not only for
OpenOffice.org
and its offshoots, but also for open source in general. Microsoft is planning on making Office 2007 SP2 available in the first half of 2009.
