Microsoft Microsoft on Feb. 16 is set to announce 34 Office suites, programs, servers, services and tools - 13 of which are new - that form part of its 2007 Microsoft Office family of products, previously knows as Office 12. Retail pricing for the comparable versions of the product has not been increased, remaining unchanged from the retail prices for Office 2003, John Cairns, senior director of licensing and pricing in Microsoft's Information Worker division, told eWEEK. More information at CNet.

"not too long ago as to why support for ODF then dropped from Massachussetts"

You are sadly mistaken.

OpenDocument is not dropped at all in Massachussetts. OpenDocument is on track to be implemented in Massachussetts in Jan 07.

OpenDocument is also being adopted as the standard document interchange format in much of Europe.

Oh really hal2k1, is that why Microsoft is losing so much money in Europe? Please, give me a break, Microsoft have their own XML format (which has become the default format for Office 2007), nothing stopping someone from implementing that based on the information provided by Microsoft.
