Romney Continues ODF Support With New Appointee

Andy Updegrove writes "There is a major new development in the ongoing saga in Massachusetts over implementation of the OpenDocument Format (ODF). Governor Mitt Romney has named a permanent successor to former State CIO Peter Quinn, utilizing the entire press release announcing his appointment to underline the fact that the new CIO, Louis Gutierrez, would not only be charged with implementing the ODF policy, but that his past experience was uniquely suited to that task. Moreover, the press release goes out of its way to note that implementation of ODF is still on target for an effective date of January 1, 2007."

Only MS's office is 100% compatible with MS .doc format.

Only if you're using the same version that the file was created in. And there are many different versions of Word, etc. still in use.

Please, it might be better than anyone else's, but don't try to claim 100% compatability in such a general sense.
