In a feat almost unheard of Microsoft is listening to it’s customers and taking steps to support ODF.
They’re sponsoring a French partner company to create a connector software that will allow saving to and reading from ODF files in MS Office. And offering it with a BSD license.
The only baffling part is why it took them this long to support it. Trying to maintain your absolute monopoly at the expense of your customer base just can’t be a great move.
At any rate, it’s good to see they’ve been forced into a responsible choice. And the BSD licensing is iceing on the cake.
If it actually happens.
