Thansk for the link - it's a good article. I did a piece in my blog http://jpmcc.blogdns.org/index.php/2006/03/02/your-office-or-mine/ about this. Microsoft are not infallible - we should look forward to the challenge. >From what I've seen of the early MS marketing, they seem to be stressing very strongly the number of templates, wizards, etc that they will be supplying. This will enable them to claim that you don't need to know MS-O2007 to produce professional results. They also know it's an area where OOo is weak. Fortunately, it's one area where our userbase could help by contributing masses of templates. They would need to be QA'd and possibly translated (there's nothing worse than a template which superficially looks ok but which completely ignores stylesheets etc :-) What do folks think?
