One of the many shocks of the day at the Microsoft Office ODF Workshop is that no one from IBM is here. I know they were invited as the entire ODF Technical Council and OASIS groups were invited. I see folks from Novell and other companies. But not official IBM presence. Now, this might have just been a scheduling issue, but someone should have been here. Microsoft is running an event showing off Alpha code of Office 2007 SP2 without a NDA. They are being incredibly open (maybe more open than I have ever seen them) and IBM has no part in the conversation. Shame on you IBM.
