You haven't dealt with organizations like that one that in mid-2001
decided to standardize on Win95, and upgrade all computers to that, or
the one that in 2000 decided to upgrade to Windows For Workgroups.
When that type of organization has a hardware failure, they hae two options:
* Pay a very pretty penny for parts for their hardware;
* Pay a pretty penny hiring somebody to convert their data to
something that their new operating system can use;

Should OOo include filters for data produced by programs like javelin,
wordstar, Lotus Brief, Visicalc, etc?
Now is a good time to push this information to individual, especially
with Microsoft changing their default file format.

OOo can not correct for incompetence in creating documents from MSO.
Furthermore,OOo can not compensate for the defective and flawed
security measures used by Microsoft. As such, before using this product
for exams that require faulty and defective software, ensure that you
will not be unjustly penalized for the incompetence of the organization
that requires the use of software that is known to be flawed,
defective, bug-ridden, and fails to meet ISO file format standards.
