Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 Released, Supports ODF Out of the Box

shutdown -p now writes "On April 28, Microsoft released service pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2007. Among other changes, it includes the earlier-promised support for ODF text documents and spreadsheets, featured prominently on the 'Save As' menu alongside Office Open XML and the legacy Office 97-2007 formats. It is also possible to configure Office applications to use ODF as the default format for new documents. In addition, the service pack also includes 'Save as PDF' out of the box, and better Firefox support by SharePoint."

Great

As always, Microsoft coming late

Well, its for their future version of Office, Office 2010 will be MS's version of EMACS! I hear however that Apple's newest version of iWork will be based on VI though, while Oracle since they have taken over Sun will release Star/Open Office where you edit everything using ED.

It also doubles as a Linux update manager as well. Remember when Ubuntu 9.04 was released? :)
