FUD, FUD and all FUD. M$ is planning on killing the
.doc format in favour of some form of encumbered XML
in the next version of Word. Likely this new version
of Word will require a new version of Windoze. It is
also likely this new version of Windoze will require a
new more powerful version of computer to run it on.
Talk about a migration hassle??? And expensive!!! This
is the opportunity free software has been looking for.

They got a hot potato with this argument.
