"Open Office.org and MS office to interoperate"
,----[ Quote ]
| We [Novell] have agreed with Microsoft that office formats from,
| both Open Office.org and MS office will interoperate with each other.
| There will be translators available, and we would support the later
| as part of OpenOffice.

The two will interoperate when Microsoft finally decides to support (using
complete implementation) the ISO standard, which is OpenDocument.
Pick your own OOo, there must be one for you!

| OpenOffice.org is probably the biggest free software project in
| existence today. It certainly is the biggest single piece of
| software one can download and compile in one go, with the core
| package hitting over the 100MB mark (while bzip'd) and the total
| sources going over 200MB.

It has just been ported to one or more new (and old) platforms.

Microsoft Office or OpenOffice?
,----[ Quote ]
| Let's turn to Microsoft Office. Again, it brings in a ton of
| revenue to Redmond, even though there are full office productivity
| suites that compete with it. My guess is that many of you can't
| name one though -- and that is what Microsoft counts on, which is
| branding power. The full-featured OpenOffice productivity suite
| is pretty darn impressive (I've used it), and it's completely
| free and interoperable with Microsoft Office (not sure about
| Office 2007). Why don't more people use it then? Lack of knowing
| it exists is a possibility, and having to download the suite or
| order it for about $10 on CD may be obstacles. Plus, you can't
| find it on Best Buy shelves. If customers start becoming smarter
| and find out out about OpenOffice or even Google Inc.'s Google
| Apps, could a large piece of Microsoft's kingdom come
| crashing down?
