I will not support or use LibreOffice

until it stops helping spread OOXML by enabling writing in this file format. There isabsolutely no need to write in this proprietary format. To do so is contrary to the principleof using ODF and open source formats.


See the following:

Unless this changes I will strongly advocate in the support groups I participate the peoplestay with OpenOffice.org and not switch to LibreOffice.
