Denmark Chooses OpenDocument Format

Seahawk was one of several readers to write in with news of Denmark's decision to embrace ODF. "On Friday morning Denmark decided to choose ODF over Microsoft's OOXML. For now the decision is only effective for governmental institutions, but regions and municipalities will most likely follow some time in the future. The decision has unfolded over a period of four years, and many open source advocates were fearing the worst, but it looks like the minister finally caved in and listened to what a lot of people were saying." While in transition away from Microsoft Office formats, the Danes may find use for this new OpenOffice integration guide (sent in by reader AdeleWard).

Have you used Microsoft Office? It can't interoperate with its own older versions

Have YOU used MS Office? I open older documents EVERY day, your post is entirely devoid of any facts or useful information other than showing your ignorance and need to push your agenda on others. You are, infact, spreading FUD just like Microsoft. In your hurry to 'stick it to the man', you are acting EXACTLY like them.

Good job. Way to fail.
