Sun Microsystems plans to release a plug-in for Microsoft Office 2003 that will allow two-way compatibility with the OpenDocument Format, the company announced Wednesday in the US.
The recently formed OpenDocument Format Alliance is expressing its confidence that the file format will be approved by the International Organisation for Standardisation next month.
The European Commission is reluctant to recommend the OpenDocument file format, even though the format has been endorsed by international standards groups.
Sun released StarOffice 8, the next version of its office productivity application that provides improved compatibility with Microsoft Office files, on Tuesday.
The Massachusetts Senate has introduced a provision to an economic stimulus bill that endangers a state decision to standardise on the OpenDocument format.
All Lenovo computers worldwide will soon come bundled with Microsoft's Windows Live software, the companies announced Wednesday.
OpenOffice.org 2.0, the freeware version of Sun's StarOffice 8, is a great deal for small-business users who don't mind browsing online forums for technical support. But enterprises are better served by StarOffice 8.
In version 8 of IBM/Lotus's upcoming collaboration suite, the client (Notes) moves to a new Java framework while the server (Domino) gets a number of overdue enhancements.
