Just a few days ago, I wrote about the native ODF support in Microsoft Office 2007 SP2. I use it everyday with my Novell colleagues and it makes our work go very smoothly (yes, they translate our docs sometimes, too!) At any rate, I was pleased to see this brief paper over at Patrick Durusau's blog highlighting the value of ODF support in our Office Suite. Patrick is the OpenDocument editor for the OASIS technical committee. You can check out the paper here.

Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 fostering Interop for doc formats

...I actually got to share this with a customer last week. I attended a CIO Forum and was asked about compatibility between Microsoft Office and Open Office - his IT staff needed to share work-related files with a partner who used OO. He was pleasantly surprised to know that we had built in support for the OpenDocument Format with SP2. I also provided some background on how well the translators have worked for our team collaboration with Novell's staff. Read the press pass interview about the release here.
