[News] Nations Migrate to OpenDocument Format, GNU/Linux

Standard Office

| Several months ago Microsoft saw that people noticed that customers
| demanded the shared and open fileformat as governments started
| choosing ODF by droves. Not surprising as a government is legally
| obligated to prefer an ISO standard over alternative choices. Also
| not surprising is that Microsoft then came out and stated that the
| file format that has been driving their software for the last
| decade could be documented and made into an ISO standard. A huge
| effort that apparently gives Microsoft a lower cost/profit ratio
| over just using (and expanding) OpenDocument. I'll let you
| speculate on the reasons for that.
