What your original troll that started the thread has to do with OOo
support is not clear.  ODF discussions belong on [email protected],
for the most part.

It could mean that there will be more confusion in the support
discussions about Microsoft Office 2007.

There's another problem, too -- MS Office now has its own non-interoperable way of "supporting" ODF, and will claim that it is
the only one with a fully ISO-compliant ODF implementation. That's
the way they plan to hold all the markets that demand ODF.


Microsoft Office 2007 does not support ODF, and according to these full
URLs [1], actually destroys ODF documents if opened in Microsoft Office
2007 without the help of Sun's ODF plugin:

Some example of some details where Microsoft Office fails:

During the transition period, when any remaining Microsoft Office
installations are abandoned, a work-around to provide ODF support is
provided by the Sun ODF Plugin.  However, in those cases, it is more
appropriate to install OOo along side the old suite.

The  Sun ODF plugin can be found here still:

Lars, I know it doesn't *really* support ODF (hence the quotation marks in what I said), but sp2 opens and writes files with the ODF extensions. This allows them to claim that they do support ODF, and they also claim that any problems of incompatibility are the fault of (all) the other implementations not complying fully with the ODF specification.
