Your a linux fan, Open Office Fan - come on
Do you do any research before writing this FUD? NW should upgrade its writers since it is obvious this is just a filler piece. MS's change was a move to protect one of their cash cows. Look back on the history of their office releases you will see this. Novell just won a decision that they can proceed in suit against MS going back to Word Perfect days when MS used its Windows position to get Advantage in the other areas it was trying to conquer.

The writer is either disingenuous, deadpan satiric, dumb, or demented. He "confuses" Office 2007 compatibility with OOXML compatibility. He glosses over the different natures of OOXML and ODF. . . . I don't think he can POSSIBLY be this dumb, so I'm hoping for deadpan satiric; but I'm afraid it's just another disingenuous attempt to write something that will get comments and inflame the flamers. The link below is to a document that looks at the differences in the two "open" standards. It tilts to the ODF side, but I can't find a single factual error, just conclusions that may be valued differently.
