A group of software developers have created a program to make Microsoft Office work with files in the OpenDocument format, a move that would bridge currently incompatible desktop applications. Gary Edwards, an engineer involved in the open-source OpenOffice.org project and founder of the OpenDocument Foundation, on Thursday discussed the software plug-in on the Web site Groklaw.

" I didn't say I did not know about Mono. I said a good editor. MonoDevelop is no where close to how useful VS.NET is, I will switch when you guys get a good .NET editor until then Windows is the greatest operating system in the world.
No wonder why they port OSS application to it."
Oh please, find me one good OSS app thats bug free on Windows. Monodevelop is more than adequate for use on Linux. Its time for everyone to switch to a free, secure and reliable environment. When your Office suite starts being an online application, which OS wopuld you rather serve it up? Linux or Windows, Windows is so insecure, so infereior anyone would be a fool to say they prefer Windows.
