With the recent Office 2003 MSFT covenant will OpenOffice be compatible with Office 12 coming early next year? Also, are there any plans for a similar product as a replacement for Visio and Project? That will be a tremendous asset.
From my readings, this is still open as the XML standard that MS is supposed to be offering isn't a standard yet. It has just gone to a committee to be developed into a standard.
This is also a question for MS, will Office XP and 2000 be compatible? Will there be patches? Who knows. Microsoft may not provide patches/upgrades to increase their revenue.
At this time I would believe that OOo will support MSO12 as long as there is no legal restrictions place on it by Microsoft. In fact if Microsoft is true to their word about their XML standard being truly open, then it should be even better than the present support for MSO.
