The purpose of these tutorials is to get you started with the toolkit as quickly and easily as possible."
Goodbye, Microsoft®: Another Reason To Use ODF
"Your life would be easier if there were a document format that all word processors could use freely, that was created in open debate, publicly documented, and widely accepted as a standard. That's what a group called OASIS set out to create, and in 2006 their "Open Document Format" (ODF) was adopted as an international standard. Lots of word processors, free and commercial, adopted ODF and pledged to support it"

Three Fixes for Microsoft's Bottom Line 'We' Want - PC World
"Be sure and make the upcoming free Web version of Office 2010 work with the world-standard Open Document Format (ODF) and the open source OpenOffice and its related alternatives from Day 1. The rest of the world believes in ODF and its lovely file compatibility to make it much easier for users anywhere to share their documents without vendor lock-in and problems. You began working on this in earnest with Office 2007 Service Pack 2, but its time to really hit the ball a mile. No more half attempts just to try to score some points. Instead, make ODF compliance a key feature and watch Office 2010 head out of the sales park. Besides, imagine the goodwill generated by such a statement of cooperation. Just do it."
How To Fight The Empire With Open Source « Technitiatives
"As a Utah resident I should not be forced into vendor lock in by Microsoft, Corel, Novell or any other proprietary software format. This isn’t to say that if I enjoy using Microsoft Office 2007 I should be forced to use a different software product. Open formats allow all companies the opportunity to compete on an equal level by providing the document code absolutely free for vendors to incorporate into their document suites."
