[QUOTE="meltbanana314, post: 81209"] If you keep buying Microsoft products, that's all people will ever use. I might sound a little too much like Stallman at this point, but by using Office you keep perpetuating the use of propriatary, undocumented file formats. If more people started using iWork and OpenOffice.org, then Microsoft will have more trouble keeping up with them and would have to cave in somewhere by either documenting the Office file formats or allowing compatibility with other, more open file formats - which is better for everyone in the long run.
