- Not so long ago: 16 months ago (WWDC 95). I know that in this industry at
- lot of stuff happen in a year.

- ODF d8 (I think) was running on both 95 and NT (altough we had a small

- 95 resulting in ODFDraw not running on 95).

- The ODF Team here at Apple is doing the ODF for Windows. We have been
- very public about our schedule: we will deliver a version of ODF running
- on Windows within a quarter of the final version of OpenDoc for Windows.
- Right now we are finalizing ODF Release 2 scheduled for September. ODF 2
- will hopefully be the last Mac-only version of ODF. ODF Release 3 will be
- cross-platform (may be not fully functional on Windows but you will be
- able to build a cross-platform part).
