I have questions:

(1) Will the document format support be 100% reliable, or will competing programs get the DR DOS treatment?

(2) Will the formats be supportable by GPL'ed applications?

Sure, they'll open up their data file formats.

Steve Ballmer will grow a full head of hair.

BillG will grow a conscience.

It could happen.

I'm having fun picturing Ballmer with hair like a Chia Pet.
