How nice, I hope that they get the support right, and once the OpenOffice team fixes the compatibility problems with OOXML, maybe we could have some real interoperability between productivity suites at last.

It would be nice when the day comes where users of both OpenOffice and Microsoft Office can each use the default file formats, and not have to worry whether one or the other can open the files.

Actually as far as people not updating goes, if they’re running Vista and haven’t changed the settings the Office service pack will be downloaded as part of Windows Update. If they’re the kind of person who’s going to go changing Update settings they’ll probably know about the Service Pack and download anyway.

I thought I remembered it not including “Microsoft Updates” in with the Windows Updates unless you enable the Microsoft Updates. I could be wrong about that, but it seems like I remember having to go and manually enabling the Microsoft Updates.
