Quick Mention: ODF Alliance Boasts a Growing List of ODF Supporters

Posted in Apple, Boycott Novell, Corel, IBM, Office Suites, OpenDocument, Standard, SUN at 3:32 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Here is a PDF-formatted press release [PDF] from the ODF Alliance. It concludes the discussions on ODF in a very recent meeting.

Following are the highlights of the most recent announcements about new and improved application support for ODF:

  • IBM’s Lotus Symphony… includes an ODF-supporting word processor, a spreadsheet….
  • Apple’s Text Edit…
  • Corel WordPerfect Office Beta allows users to open, view, and edit ODF…
  • Adobe’s Buzzword…
  • Sun ODF Plug-in 1.1 for Microsoft Office….
  • OpenOffice.org version 2.3…

So who is it that strives to convince you that only Sun Microsystems supports ODF?
