Microsoft says yes to ODF

An astounding information for the open software community came from none other than the software major Microsoft. The content exemplifies that it would support the open document format from next year. This would probably wipe off its monopolistic representation to the public. This move will find greater acknowledgment from the software adherents but the question is regarding the level of dedication that would be shown by Microsoft. Microsoft was criticized, as it was consciously not providing support to the open document format by the open software movement.

To exterminate this criticism it has decided to add open document format support to Office 2007 when it is updated next year. Microsoft has been quite successful in with respect to its open XML format. This format was also well acknowledged by the International Standards Organization. This move to support ODF has found wider appreciation since the open software community vehemently opposed the open XML format.
