Office + OpenDocument, Never Say Never

barryfreed writes "There's a blog entry by Andy Updegrove at ConsortiumInfo.org that says Microsoft has officially stated to him that support of OpenDocument in MS Office could happen. Microsoft sent the statement in a response to an article Updegrove wrote called Massachusetts and OpenDocument: A Brave New World?"

Post is a honeypot for M$ hating crackpots

[Ingolfke]

The gist of the article is that Microsoft MAY support OpenDocument in the future if the demand is there. And the nutcases who get paged when there's an M$ story on /. come a runnin' to spout off about "embrace and extend" and Netscape and monopolies and Balmer will f'ing kill you. The only point that is made by all of this commotion is that there is a group of geeks who hate Microsoft so much that they cannot make logical rationale decisions or anlaysis about technical developments or corporate directions... or posts that simply amount to "we'll do whatever is in our customers (and our) best interests in the future". Tone down all of the rhetoric... it makes you look like a bunch of ignorant whelps.
