  22. I can appreciate this position. I don't blame you for wanting to use the
  23. tools you are familiar with to develop for multiple platforms. However, if
  24. we want ODF to succeed and gain industry-wide acceptance, we have to make
  25. sure that it isn't perceived as a Mac-bigoted framework. Once OpenDoc for
  26. Windows ships, we intend to bring the Windows version of ODF up to parity
  27. with the Macintosh version, and support the popular native toolset(s) on
  28. the Windows platform.
