Compatibility?

I think the main problem would be if you do decide to try open-office and save it in the open document format, then try to open it with MS Office, they wont be able to open it, you have to save it in a MS office standard. The issue is compatibility, which is something slightly lacking this time in MS Office. If a school does decide to do this, they might just have to hand out copies on CD or something so that the students would not have this problem at home.

Unfortunately Microsoft’s own open document standard (OXML) has been approved dose any one know if they will also support ODF standard? I hope they do.
