]]> Comment on Microsoft opens up Office to open document formats by ODF Support added to Microsoft Office System - Additional Reading : Oliver Bell’s weblog http://futureofdocuments.blogs.xerox.com/2008/05/22/microsoft-opens-up-office-to-open-document-formats/#comment-269 ODF Support added to Microsoft Office System - Additional Reading : Oliver Bell’s weblog Fri, 23 May 2008 04:02:18 +0000 http://futureofdocuments.blogs.xerox.com/2008/05/22/microsoft-opens-up-office-to-open-document-formats/#comment-269 [...] Francois Ragnet - “Microsoft opens up Office to open document formats” Interesting to see how Microsoft have moved away from their proprietary document formats, which were previously considered as their “crown jewels”, and now focus their innovation efforts on the applications themselves. More surprising though, is the fact that Office 2007 will not support OOXML, Microsoft’s own competing format for ODF, which they recently “fast-tracked” through ISO approval. In any event, this is great news for the Future of Documents, as this is a major step towards one open document format for easy interchange between applications.

]]> Comment on Going green: What’s good for the Environment is Good for Business by Felicia W. http://futureofdocuments.blogs.xerox.com/2008/05/16/going-green-whats-good-for-the-environment-is-good-for-business/#comment-261 Felicia W. Fri, 16 May 2008 16:57:27 +0000 http://futureofdocuments.blogs.xerox.com/2008/05/16/going-green-whats-good-for-the-environment-is-good-for-business/#comment-261 I think going green is something that everyone can agree is a step in the right direction toward building a better community, and laying down the foundations for which future generations can successfully thrive in a healthier environment. Plus, I think many businesses will benefit from going green, not only building a more acceptable public persona, but in the long run it really helps companies save money and be a positive contributor to the world we live in. Another thing I want to talk about is bioheat, it's just one small measure that people can take in order to start living a greener lifestyle. Has anyone ever heard of it, or has switched to it? I want to start taking initiative in turning my home into a greener household, one way I have started is by switching out all my lightbulbs in my home to energy efficient lightbulbs. And I am also seriously considering switching over to bioheat as an alternative to regular oilheat. The thing that I love the most about it is that it's completely clean burning, and is comprised of a b5 blend of oils which are derived from natural plant and vegetable sustainable resources such as corn, hemp, and avocados just to name a few. If you all want more information on how bioheat, just go on to http://oilheatamerica.com/index.mv?screen=bioheat I work with NORA to bring this info to you all!
