Novell has launched for download an Open XML translator that enables people to open and conserve Microsoft Office Open XML-formatted word-processing documents in OpenOffice. Around the early morning of March 5,
Office 2010 Home And Business Serial, the Novell download site was down. But the translator download was operating over the weekend. The translator is available for immediate download.Novell officials said late last year that they planned to create a version of OpenOffice that would include Workplace Open XML (OOXML) file-format compatibility. Workplace Program Manager Brian Jones blogged about availability of the Novell translator on March 2, noting that Microsoft consumers now have a few different options for "support(ing) Open XML on a couple different platforms." (Sun recently launched an ODF-Office 2003 translator. And Microsoft and a handful of partners released an ODF-OOXML translator for Phrase in early February.) Even though these translators currently enable sharing of word-processing paperwork and not yet other office-suite applications like Excel or PowerPoint,

Microsoft Office Standard 2010 Key, and both sides are winners. More than the past few years, we've had two important file formats come into the market, OpenXML and ODF. Both were designed for different purposes,

Seems a tad premature to declare a victory (or even a truce) to me. What say you, readers? Are the file-format wars between Microsoft and the ODF backers more than?
