No way. The only thing we have running on XP are a few laptops for testing and
evaluation. All of the other workstations are running 2000 both as the OS and
Office suites.

MS stays one step ahead of the compatibility race.

Actually, it's not 100% compatible. I got a .doc file from Cox yesterday that
had a table and some background shading, and OpenOffice 1.0 couldn't render
the text inside the table cells. WordPerfect 9.0 couldn't either, for that
matter. I will admit that it was an advertising letter for the most part, and
no one should send fluffy stuff like that to someone else if it's in a
business context, anyhow.
