I think it is a Good Thing (tm) to release the documents in Word format.
Why? Because it highlights the very monopoly that Microsoft has on file
formats and invested time and money.

Things will only get better once international file format standards are
created. Until then, its all MSFT's game.

PS and before you ask, yes I am pro-linux and anti-msft

I agree and wrote an email to them telling them what I thought as a result.

To Whom It May Concern,

While your open letter is of value and it is appreciated, it was written in
a proprietary MS document format, namely .doc.  I suggest you offer it in
PDF or RTF, it would then perhaps carry more weight, especially within the
zealous Open Source Community.

Kind Regards,
