This week I received a triumphal press release from the Open Document Foundation, announcing that the just-released Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 has native support for the ODF (Open Document Format) file format. This makes the latest MS Office "the last major office suite to support ODF." This set me to thinking about how movement and advancement in several areas of technology and interoperability may well invigorate the alternative OS world.

No, that's their own shitty implementation of a supposedly "open" format, which - by the way - corrupted and bribed its way in many countries to become an ISO "standard" (I won't go into the nasty details as, unless you've been living in a cave for the past year or so, you can find references everywhere on the Internet over this mess).
