More handbrake turns concerning ODF. In an official statement, Microsoft has said it will not support OpenDocument in Office 12: ""We have no plans to directly support the OpenDocument format at this time." This contradicts reports from yesterday. Andy Updegrove, OASIS' legal counsel, responds, once again. Really, there's no need to turn on your TV to watch soap operas.

And remember our DATA is at stake.
Not mine.
The day MS removes 'Save As.. 'Text Document (.txt)' from Word is the day I'll worry that I'm locked into their format.
Well, not necessary. What if you needed a document desperately but that was enclosed in a proprietary format and you NEED to buy a $300 app to open it???
Do you still think you have other imp. things to do after this?
Anywayz, your choice.
