Replacing Proprietary Software For Presentations With Open Ones
If you have ever given a serious thought about moving away from the Microsoft monopoly of your PC desktop and common Office applications, this looks like a good time to give your desire a second thought.
.odt, .ods, .odp are the new file format extension characterizing the new open standard file formats that are already available for any application to use and integrate and which replace the proprietary .doc, .xls and .ppt file formats introduce and owned by Microsoft.
With the soon to be released OpenOffice 2.0 (an open source office application suite) coming up very soon, and with the OpenDocument file format formally approved by the OASIS OpenDocument Technical Committee, this may be the best time ever to give a good serious look at the alternatives to Microsoft Office and the cost and use benefits that may directly derive from them.
