		<description><![CDATA[The ODF Alliance today greeted with skepticism Microsoft&#8217;s announcement of its intention to include support for the OpenDocument Format in the first half of 2009. &#8220;The proof will be whether and when Microsoft&#8217;s promised support for ODF is on par with its support for its own format. Governments will be looking for actual results, not [...]]]></description>

The adoption of ODF by South Africa opens the way for the businesses and government to adopt ODF more widely in their processes.

Via ODFalliance.org blog
Arguments are often made that having two internationally-approved standards for document formats would encourage choice.  After all, isn’t competition good? South Africa’s Minister of Public Service and Administration, Ms. Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi addressed this issue from the perspective of governments in her opening address at the Idlelo 3 Conference currently underway in Dakar, Senegal:

If anything, the ODF Alliance analysis is too charitable. OOXML is NOT CLOSE TO a community of one. Documents produced by Microsoft Office 2007 are not OOXML (Ecma 376), DIS 29500, or [...]]]></description>

Nonetheless, following the close [...]]]></description>

We know more clearly now how Microsoft and its proxy group, ECMA, will position Microsoft&#8217;s OOXML specification in advance of the vote. In short, Microsoft is betting that its influence with National Bodies will [...]]]></description>

Tucked in with the many security updates (and the restoration of one&#8217;s ability to paste text from a web page into a Word document!), a very interesting modification to the Office 2003 software waits quietly for installation with Service Pack 3.
