In related news, MS' competing format is faltering at ISO:

ISO approval 'unlikely for Microsoft Open XML'

So it looks like ODF will be the common format going into the future at this point.

Although Microsoft has said it would not put transforms into the next version of Office, there are already a number of third parties creating ODF plug-ins for the Microsoft productivity suite.

Why do articles like this state the obvious? M$FT would never make it easier to use their products with the competition.

I am curious though is Notes still a big deal given the number of other ways to collaborate?

OT Comment, but sort of related:

Several years ago, I tried Lotus Organizer. I discovered that is was totally impossible to delete any muslim holiday. Delete a Christian or secular holiday? You betcha. But never a muslim one.

Strange, huh?
