Hey, I Demand ODF!
And along with the 80,000 Windows desktops owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, that makes for 81,000 of us demanding Microsoft support ODF. Since Sinofsky indicates, based on the threshold he set for PDF adoption, we need 120,000 demands for ODF before Microsoft will concede to our demands, is there anyone else willing to join our demand line? I'm sure we could pick up a few million demands at OpenOffice.org, but there's no time like the moment to let Chairman Bill know where we stand.
