OOXML: To Be, or Not To Be
,----[ Quote ]
| Thus, as it may seem to many, it's not a matter of choosing between ODF and
| the ISO-approved OOXML anymore -- it's a choice between open and closed
| source technologies now. What will customers like the government choose?

Confronting the future of Web standards
,----[ Quote ]
| As Schwartz writes, "Where is OpenOffice.org deployed in the greatest
| numbers? In places where saving $300 per desktop is meaningful." If you take
| this view, as emerging markets become an increasingly important customer base
| for the technology industry, open standards such as the ODF (Open Document
| Format) used by OpenOffice.org will almost certainly become de facto
| standards, as well.

Huge Success for the ODF Community
,----[ Quote ]
| OpenOffice.org, which is just one implementation of ODF, is currently being
| downloaded more than 1.2M times per week and being distributed by popular
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| hardware products like the Asus Eee PC. Government organizations around the
| world are adopting OpenOffice.org and/or ODF and have started to help each
| other with their adoption challenges. Thus, ODF has become a "market force"
| that can't be ignored anymore. Thus, again, congratulations and thank you to
| all the people who have contributed to the success of OpenOffice.org and ODF
| so far! Well done!
