Compatible with all other major office suites” and at the same time a direct competitor to Microsoft Office.Ron Hovsepian also added that “The financial holy grail is actually the office productivity suite … when you look at structures of companies there is a lot of profitability in those product sets from the competition,…”What we have done with the open source community around OpenOffice … and our commitment to ODF (Open Document Format) … is a very powerful statement.We are just one of many custodians that work with the community. Nobody is ever going to own the community and that is the good news … you can’t kill it. We have to define ourselves as a custodian to the community and to the commercial customers — that is our role”
