As a mere customer I got tired of changing my computers and updating my Windows systems and ending up with something that worked worse than before. Now I have a new Linux system and it works like a charm - no viruses, no worries.

Say NO to OOXML! We don't want to wake up in five years and find out that we're still locked in by Microsoft. Stop it now! Choose .ODF as your standard file format.

It is true that the old binairy documents had their troubles. For instance in this world where you have many many documents and need the ease of finding them without labeling them.

Open XML is NOT a standard one can use safely with many hidden patents and "binairy blobs" of old binairy data.

You desire to go into the future? How about ODF?

[MullenThomas1507]

Haha, nice.

OOXML has several intellectual property and patent right problems. Don't fall for Microsoft's trick.

BTW, "ODF" has a Wikipedia entry, too!

[cyborgtroy]

Yeah, I like ODF because, like, OpenOffice has already been using it for ages.

And now that I have my own printer [used to use the school's printer], I can use any format I like for my documents. And by any format, I mean ODF.

HILARIOUS! The first two letters of the new XML format from Micro$oft tell it all- "OO" as in "Uh-oh"!

[stevebalmer]

LOL Loved it!

(I'll keep on using ODF instead of OOXML forever though)
