From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So you're telling me MS Word that actually invented the format and it is the most popular document editor is doing it wrong. lol
What a fucking joke. As someone well known once said, if you're a bug on a software and people start leveraging it and depending on it then it isn't a bug, it is a feature - the same goes for MS Office, since it has the largest user base and the standard actually came from there then what it renders is actually the correct thing no matter what you may think.
Yes the ODF is obviously a better standard than OOXML and that's because ODF was designed from the ground up after seeing the fuckups MS did for years while trying to get something to work. It's very easy to point fingers after the fact, same way it's easy to know the lottery numbers of last week's draw but not for next week's.
