The point is - I doubt the difference will matter to Google's search. They can already search docs - so I doubt searching has much to do with it. There's not much of a point in discussing this anyway. Google hasn't said they prefer ODF to DOC or MSOXML - we're just assuming they do. > I think it would be because success for ODF means failure for MSO. > > Last year you said that OpenDocument was irrelevant to MSO :) That should read "a failure" - not total failure. What I mean is ODF is a bad thing for MSO - not the total death of. I don't think there will be a total death of MSO anytime soon. As long as there are desktops and office suites - MSO will be around. How long those two conditions last is up for debate. Any thing that hinders, limits, or slows down MSO / MS is a good thing for Google. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ http://www.whatisopenoffice.org/ Because everyone loves free software! http://www.chadwsmith.com/ Because, admit it, you've got nothing better to do right now...
