Hola

Hace casi dos años se le entregó este informe al gobierno de Dinamarca comparando tres escenarios posibles: 

Scenario 1 – The use of Office Open XML format (in Mi-crosoft Office)
Scenario 2 – The use of OpenDocument format (in OpenOffice.org)
Scenario 3 – The use of ODF plug-ins in Microsoft Office

Los valores están expresados en coronas de dinamarca:

7. Scenario 3 – The use of ODF plug-ins in Microsoft Office

For some time, the OpenDocument Foundation has been working on a plug-in that makes it possible to use ODF in Microsoft Office21. A number of private companies, including Sun Microsystems, have already published plug-ins or other tools with this functionality.

The latest is that Microsoft has given its support to an Open Source project that is to prepare a plug-in or translation tool22. This solution can, in its preliminary version, be downloaded and installed in the beta version of Office 2007. Later, it will also be pos-sible to use the same plug-in in the current versions of Office.

This announcement is a breach of Microsoft’s previous position. Until recently, the market research firm, Gartner, believed that Microsoft could not be expected to sup-port the ODF format at the end of 2008 and that it was not possible to predict whether or when this would happen23.

However, note that this announcement does not mean that Microsoft will support ODF plug-ins or translation tools in its office package. Thus, the Microsoft an-nouncement is that they only will provide support and provide technical consultancy for the Open Source project24.

The assumptions in this scenario must therefore be treated with some reservation. The plug-ins mentioned have not yet been released and the precise functionality and performance cannot be easily evaluated. However, the OpenDocument Foundation has provided information that their plug-in has been thoroughly tested and is ready to use.

7.1 Technological consequences

7.1.1 Conversion costs
The conversion costs in this scenario will be the same as those for the transition to using ODF in OpenOffice.org. A conversion of all or most of the organization’s docu-ments will be necessary.
During conversion, there may be problems with loss of data and lack of functions.
By using the plug-ins or translation tools approved by Microsoft, the conversion pos-sibilities between the existing binary formats and ODF might be better because of Microsoft’s knowledge of its own formats.

7.1.2 Compatibility with software and integration
Compatibility between the OpenDocument format and other types of software, such as CMS and ESDH systems is, in this scenario, the same as for scenario 2. The for-mat used is the same in both.24

7.1.3 Networks and hardware
Currently, the performance of the combination of ODF and Microsoft Office cannot be evaluated because the different plug-ins have not yet been released. Therefore, it has not been possible to find information about this area.

7.2 License terms and conditions

7.2.1 The terms and conditions of the standard
The same license terms and conditions apply to ODF as for scenario 2.

7.2.2 Software license terms and conditions
In principle, with an ODF plug-in it is possible to use Microsoft Office instead of using OpenOffice.org or StarOffice.

As in scenario 1, it is important to note that Microsoft’s support of the various ver-sions of Microsoft Office will be terminated. In general, it is recommended to update to new versions of Microsoft Office at the latest at the time when Microsoft’s support and updates of the old version have expired.

Plug-ins from both OpenDocument Foundation and Microsoft are open source and are, therefore, free of charge for users.

In a response to Massachusetts, Sun Microsystems writes that the price of the com-pany’s plug-in has not yet been determined. Another, smaller provider estimates that the price of their plug-in, which is being developed, will be USD 99 per workstation25.
