Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 Released, Supports ODF Out of the Box

Posted by timothy on from the file-formats-rule-the-world dept.

shutdown -p now writes "On April 28, Microsoft released service pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2007. Among other changes, it includes the earlier-promised support for ODF text documents and spreadsheets, featured prominently on the 'Save As' menu alongside Office Open XML and the legacy Office 97-2007 formats. It is also possible to configure Office applications to use ODF as the default format for new documents. In addition, the service pack also includes 'Save as PDF' out of the box, and better Firefox support by SharePoint."

    Now we're gonna get the swine flu spread all over from the flying pigs.

    I didn't think we would see this day. So either its flying pigs or hell freezing over. Then again maybe there is a side to Microsoft that we weren't even aware of.

    Swine flu and I'm pretty sure Hell freezes over in the Winter, if you're talking about the place in Michigan.

    Somehow, I'm starting to get the feeling that this is a huge pun organized by some higher power.

    What promises are people gonna have to start keeping next? The ones based on, "not in a million years"?
