The commonwealth of Massachusetts has finalised its decision to standardise desktop applications on OpenDocument, a format not supported by Microsoft Office. State agencies in the executive branch are now supposed to migrate to OpenDocument-compliant applications by 1 January, 2007, a change that will affect about 50 000 desktop PCs. The reference model also confirms that Adobe's PDF format is considered an "open format".

"But anyway, critizising any move that benefits OSS is a stupid thing to do. I should've known better."
Thom, please, now you are really trolling.
So many people have pointed out how you were wrong about pdf, how your "logic" doesn't make any sense, how you were misrepresenting the intentions of Massachusetts, how you were falsely calling this a "let's diss MS" move and on and on and this piece of trollish shit (boohhoo, those evil OSS zealots can't stand critique, of course forgetting that this doesn't even have anything to do with OSS, but with open standards) is all you have as an answer?
Really Thom, I'm disappointed and disgusted.
