    No you are wrong.

    OpenOffice saves as ODF just fine. ;-)

    Installation

    Double click the MSI file to install the Add-in for Word 2007.

    If installation is successful, you should see a new "ODF" entry in the "File" menu in Word 2007. It allows you to either import an ODF text file or export your current working document as an ODF text file (note that during development process, those functionalities might be temporary unavailable).

    Important note: The ODF file opened by the add-in is converted into Office OpenXML (Office 2007 new file format) and imported into Word as a read-only file. If you want to save it as ODF, you have to use the "Export as ODF" button and provide a new file name (that can be the same as the current file name).

    Microsoft is _sponsoring_ the development in open source.

    Not exactly the same.

    I for once have faith in what they are gonna do.

    They might just hear people and governments saying 'we don't take it anymore'.

  6. Re:899 is cheap? on The $899 Educational iMac · · Score: 1

    I started off with a slow unstable computer I borrowed from my father. Since then I replaced every part piece-by-piece over a couple of years and returned the old parts to my father.

    Now I have a CoolerMaster Centurion 5 case,
    Some ASUS MB with Nforce chipset,
    Athlon 2200+,
    1 gig ram 'fallen off a truck',
    250gig HD (my 150gig HD broke down a year ago),
    XFX GeForce 6200 128mb (newest part, replaced my onboard Geforce2),
    Trident audio card (replaced my onboard),
    Zallman CPU cooler,
    CoolerMaster powersupply,
    DVD-rw (my cdrom-drive broke down four months ago),
    USB and USB 2.0 extension PCI cards,
    Xerox 19" monitor (I recommend this one! http://www.xerox-displays.com/XA7series.html?produ ct=WCP35&page=modl)
    Logitec optical mouse,
    CanoScan LiDE 60 scanner.

    Now it's the most quiet computer in this student-building (now 29 deg. Celcius in the building), the most stable and because of the software it's the snapiest. The piece-by-piece replacing method it the way to go for students.

    But is that any worse than an open format no one has heard of that has no support or documentation.


    I think these (which?) are the exception. Most open standards are very well documentated and supported by a multitude of apps.
