Not much, except that .odt is a true open standard, that the "editor" is free and that the "editor" is available for every major platform. And practically does everything you need, as well.
Now, do you think i would pay money for MS Office? Even if i would, i couldn't because it's Windows/Mac only anyway.
I'd say, sending .odt/.docx around is the least preferable option but .docx additionally has far more downsides for me as well..
- dfc 15y ago"Far more downsides for me as well." Sadly most people in the world do not care about what is easier/cheaper for you (and me). The most widely distributed office program is MSOffice, not libreoffice. MS Office users would have to bear the costs of installing/learning a new office product.
- buster 15y agoYes, i know that. It saddens me that so much money goes to some (in my eyes) inferior product (and makes my work harder ;) ).
