That’s a good news for everyone who’s using office suites:
The Open Document foundation finally get ODF (open document format) to be approuved by the International Standard Organization (ISO). Read an article about it, in eweek.com
Read the Original Press Release (PDF)
Why is it good? Because it is the promise that our documents can live longer than the lifespan of an office suite. In two hundred years people will still be able to read your documents.
How can you start using ODF : If you are using MS-Windows operating system just proceed to download openoffice.org
Open Office works also for MAC OSX, Solaris and Linux. And we can expect all the open source office suite as well as all the other non-free office suite to adopt it (such as Corel wordperfect)
