| Now, all of this is pure pretend. And even if ODF were to become the dominant

| mean that some of Word’s formatting niceties wouldn’t make the transition.
| Would business be ok with that? For creators, probably yes; it’d be good to
| be relieved of the expectation that you will be a document designer. For
| readers, no. We’ll continue to want highly formatted documents. But, then ODF
| + formatting specifications can produce quite respectably formatted docs, and
| that capability will only get better.

Malaysian Government Saves Big with Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Open Source in the public sector seemed to be all the rage in 2008, with
| government agencies all over Europe — not to mention agencies of the EU
| itself — adopting, and in many cases, mandating Open Source software and
| standards. Of course, Europe was not the only continent cozying up with a
| copy of the source code — governments in Africa, Asia, North & South America,
| and all over the South Pacific were exploring and implementing Open Source in
| 2008. Now, one of those governments has revealed the savings-side of OSS, and
| the numbers they're tossing around are pretty nice.
