OFFICE 2007 SP2 - ODF Support
,----[ Quote ]
| On a related note, Ive noticed with the podcasts I listen to that OGG is
| becoming the download of choice when offered with MP3. Another good sign
| that its now users who are demanding open standard file formats? We have
| already seen a similar “battle” between XVID and DIVX.
|
| Regardless of what packages you use, its seems to me its getting harder for
| companies to force you down the route of their own proprietary formats.

| Back in 2006 I gave a short in talk at a KDE conference in Dublin on the
| topic of "A Standard ODF Object Model", essentially laying out my thoughts on
| why we needed an "ODF Toolkit". As part of that presentation I listed "20
| Prototypical App Dev Scenarios", my attempt to enumerate all the fundamental
| patterns of use for ODF. I did a blog post on this list later that year.
