You decide, from Playfuls.com
"You probably know already that Microsoft decided to offer support for the Open XML-ODF file translation. But what are the reasons for this sudden shift in MicrosoftÕs vision?

The main supporters for the ODF are Sun Microsystems, IBM and Novell, and a bunch of other smaller companies, organizations and insbreastutions all over the world.
