Of course, it'll all be fine when MS Office talks ODF like a native of that fair land, right? Right?

I'll get me coat.

Same old BS from "entrenched" lazy people. Would it take some work for the techies to make the change over? Sure it would. Would it reduce overall work in the long run? Absolutely. Will the cost ever be justified? Nope.

This is the definition of monopoly. And they should be ashamed to support it. The funny part is that if they bit the bullet and more people demanded OSS, initially it would be painful, but lots more would sign on to improve it.

Once again, people are promoted to their highest level of incompetence. Cheers OU for showing us yours.

they're still getting their cost analysis from MS - or pretty hefty backhanders.
