Sun decided to release a free ODF plug in for M\$ Office users. Good thing ... usually OO.org users had to convert their OpenDocument files into either pdf (which is still the format i use for documents exchange with customers ...) or as a native M\$ office format. Now you can even send your document in odf format and they have no excuses anymore .... :o) . Btw it was also possible that such users install OpenOffice on Windows though ... Here it is : http://www.sun.com/software/star/openoffice/
