Word 2007 to Feature Built-in Blogging

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the rapid-publishing dept.

Vitaly Friedman writes "Microsoft has revealed a surprising new feature for Word 2007: built-in blog publishing. The big surprise is this: the HTML that is generated is actually not that bad. 'Joe Friend, a lead program manager (Microsoft's term for a person who creates the specifications for software that programmers implement) has posted an entry on his blog regarding an interesting new feature being implemented for Word 2007: direct publishing of blogs to the web from within the program.'"

    Of course, MS can do no right with the Slashdot crowd. I think that this is a reasonably cool feature for people who can't write HTML or FTP. Why the anger? If you don't want to use the feature, don't use it? somehow, I'm imagining lots of OSS drones complaining about how stupid this feature is, while working feverishly to get it into OpenOffice and Star Office.

    Go ahead, mod me down.

    Wow, people will say just about anything to justify why their preferred OS lacks a feature.
