• In a tacit acknowledgment of the OpenDocument format's included momentum, Microsoft Corp said last week that it will back an open-source project to create software that will allow Microsoft Office users to open and save files in ODF. The goal is to develop free plug-ins that allow users to natively save Word, Excel and PowerPoint files in ODF, as well as convert files in Office 2007's OpenXML format to ODF and back. Clever Age is the owner of the project, but as in any good open-source project, anyone can participate, anyone can modify or develop on top of it.
