- I don't think you can compare ODF and Bedrock; ODF is here, it's
- working and is well supported. I think ODF will be successful
- because it makes developing OD parts so easy - and I'm convinced that
- OpenDoc will be successful because of its quality and importance
- to global distributed computing.
-
- I personally hope OpenDoc becomes a household word - much like Netscape
- has. I see no reason why it can't.
