According to Andy Updegrove, Microsoft seems to be reconsidering support for OpenDocument. A quote from the blog: "So there is no line drawn in the sand, nor (to put it another way) has Microsoft painted itself into a corner. If OpenDocument picks up steam, a back door for support is ajar."

Bad enough for having to rewrite it. That said, I have to blame MSO as he doesn't always handle the structure of a document gracefully (e.g. it seems to include hacks here and there). I will try OOo 2.0, but the tryout is not as important as somebody that doesn't have a MSO licence (or got a pirated one).

How bad was the result for that CV?
Was it utterly destroyed, or was it a few elements placed a bit different?
I've never had major issues when writing reports, and switching to and from OpenOffice and MS-Office. The only thing has been slightly different spacing, nothing that couldn't be fixed with one click. But perhaps I've learned to transparently work around the issues, and therefore not seeing them?
