The end of Microsoft Office?

Document formats are not something I usually follow but I was pleased to read that Office Open XML was rejected. Yeah!

OOXML is defective by design provides some nice examples of why Microsoft’s Open XML is no good.

Don’t you just love the alarmist headlines TV anchors use to suck you in to the 11:00 news. “Is your house killing you?” The answer is invariably no, probably not. It is probably not the end for Microsoft Office either – except in my house.

I made the switch to OpenOffice.org a few months ago and overall have been happy with it. Now my whole family is using it. There are no computers in our house running Office any more.
