Of course Microsoft will SAY that they won't support OpenDocument format right up to the moment when they DO. If enough governments STIPULATE that tenders, contracts, etc are drawn up in documents which are in OpenDocument format then businesses will start using software such as OpenOffice.org/ StarOffice and MS Office market share will soften. THEN Microsift will about-face like a Guardsman on parade.
