What does that have to do with an office suite format?
OpenDocument is not intended to be limited to office suites. It's
intended to cover a lot of documents beyond what you normally think of
as "office". Boeing, for example, wanted it to be usable in CAD systems
and content management.
It might not be now, but, it's probably just going to "borrow" some code (or
all of it) from OOo in their ODF version.
Not like that's wrong. It /is/ open source. I would be happy for
Microsoft to borrow code too to make MS Office support ODF.
Microsoft is a member of OASIS - that doesn't prove anything.
I don't think I made any assertion that depends on whether Microsoft is
a member of OASIS.
Right, that's good enough. The default download includes the ability to
Read, Edit, and Create ODF formats. And AbiWord and Gnumeric can count - but
not some Content Management System. We're talking about Word Processing,
Spreadsheets, and Presentations.
We can narrow the bet to just word processors :-) OpenDocument is a bit
broad (word processors, presentations, CAD, CMS, etc). Measuring just
word processing would be easier. And I expect ODF to grow in word
processors first. I don't want to lose the bet because Corel added ODF
to WordPerfect but not to their presentations package.
Cheers,
Daniel.
