[CS-FSLUG] Petition for ODF Support in MS Office

[Don Parris]

Greetings,

I thought this was important to post here.  I strongly encourage everyone on 
this list to sign the petition to encourage Microsoft to support 
OpenDocument.  When I signed ( a few minutes ago), there were over 1400 
signatures representing nearly 70,000 computers.  While I am not a fan of 
Microsoft, I do believe they should support the OpenDocument format.  See 
below for the links to the petition.

Blessings,
Don


Microsoft has said that they will support OpenDocument in MS Office if there 
is customer demand for it.

OpenDocument. To show that there /is/ demand for OpenDocument:
