<div>Today I completed an assignment for IT in Linux. (We dont have any windoze machines in the house). So I saved it in a format supposedly compatible with Microsoft Office 2003, but...of course, microsoft's (lack of) support for open document format has redered the rather hefty assignment useless to the school. I think this is a pile of animal's fecal matter, the school should cater for the people that are actually using some software that is compatible with open formats available on the *nix platforms.

<div>I intend to complain at my school today to see if I can get some form of open solution for the software made available to us. But I am interested to hear your oppinions on this issue, and if its actually worth promoting.
