Microsoft Office 2007 to Support ODF - and not OOXML

[gary4gar]

Good news!.
Now atleast you don't to spend Rs.20,000/- just to create Documents.

Wonder why every post gets involved into Linux vs Windows fight.
Both Os are made for different set of Users.

Here a update

Microsoft's decision to add support to Office 2007 for the Open Document Format instead of its own OOXML office file format is due to backwards compatibility issues with OOXML

I'm glad they natively support ODF, now they needn't throw away OOXML, it's just that what happened to amitava82 above should not happen to anyone. I wonder if his professor's office is licensed.

I got a "B" because I submitted my paper in odf format and my professor could not open it with MS Word.. I so hate this..

where do you study ?
and did this really happen ?
if professors are that bad, nobody should study in such places.
did you try complaining ?
