Wow, I didn’t plan on posting until I did a proper ‘opening ceremony’ post but this one is too interesting to escape mention:
Do you see what I see?
Native, out-the-box ODF support? In MY Microsoft software? You bet! A quick, deserved salute here to Microsoft. One small step for a company, one giant leap forward for document format interoperability.
People on Windows 7 will be getting ODT’s from me from now on >=)

Yea, 3 days ago I was getting some paper to print out for journalism class from my dropbox box, and I noticed support for .odt and my mind broke. Everything I know and love in this world is a lie. It does not compute in my head. Dig this, it was on Word for Mac!
In any case, I been saving all my files to .docx in AbiWord so it was a little too little too late. -_-

Yeah mind = blown. I hear that SP2 for Word 2007 will also bring with it native ODT support. I’ve recently taken a liking to KWord so more ODF ubiquity is definitely good for me :) Huzzah! The days of non-MS office user second-class-citizenship finally look numbered!
Is AbiWord good though? Never used it before.

AbiWord is a relatively light weight wordprocessor. It is essential that the stuff I run is quick because I run 12 year old hardware. -_- Such is the story of my life.
