It is so frustrating... in tech circles, it is widely known/understood for at least 2 decades, that an open file/data format is much more important than open source software.
Just make ODF the mandatory file format and be done with it. (Yes, I know, old documents and the work of transforming ... but if we do not start right now, when would be a better time?)
Other governments could follow, but the private sector is reluctant. Even Airbus which is a high profile move away from MS has gone to Google Docs.
