  > However, another interesting point. Microsoft choosing an open-source, community supported application in favour of a tried and tested, Microsoft-built alternative. Exciting times. > This is not your Grandfather’s Microsoft, or even your Father’s Microsoft. There has been huge change in the last few years in the development category of Microsoft applications, with a real move towards open-source first. It’s really interesting to see this move permeate out to the rest of the organisation and start to manifest itself in other areas like Productivity Applications such as this one. Another point here: It actually works reasonably well on Linux. For young people here, given the history of Microsoft this was not something that would have happened only a few years ago. Back then it would have been as unusual as if Google had suddenly turned around and started testing their web sites in other browsers except Chrome ;-)
