I agree MSO 2007 and 2010 should be the priority, but a big advantage of
LibO could be that it *can* read older formats. Government regulations
and company policies often require documents to be retained for years
and sometimes decades. MSO 2007+ no longer allows opening MSO <97
documents, because it is unable to do so securely. If LibO can open
these older documents, it's one more reason to switch away from MSO.
