The LO jihad should have thought about that before hearing the call of sirens from Novell to fork. Sun refused Novell' s Go-OO OOXML patches for a reason: you can't advance ODF adoption by embracing your competitor's format, but of course Meeks disagrees, and OOXML support was one of the 'highlights' of Novell' s first Go-OO fork*. Also, Oracle had great plans for OO.o and its commercial cousin StarOffice, in fact, I updated my copy of StarOffice 9 to "Oracle Open Office" (the renamed StarOffice) and was positively impressed. Sadly it' s all water under the bridge by now. I hope Apache takes AOO where StarOffice was (in terms of corporate adoption) and beyond...
