The Microsoft exec in charge of Office has dismissed last week's tie-up between Sun and Google as allusion rather than substance. "That announcement didn't have anything," Chris Capossela, corporate vice president Information Worker Product Management Group of Microsoft told a crowd of reporters last week. "It had something about a toolbar and Java Runtime, and it alluded to a potential thing some time in the future. OpenOffice isn't hard to get, just go to their website and download the software."

You keep missing the biggest thing about the Massachusetts issue. The odds of Mass. being able to pull off this switch are low. All MS has to do, is not change, and Mass will find themselves with more headaches then it was worth soon enough and just go back. MS can hold out on Mass. Far longer then Mass. can hold out on MS supporting OpenDocument.
For someone to think Mass. will pull this off and not find themselves switching back is being extremely optimistic.
