The fact that these organisation chose to use m$ in instead of odf is
of their own right to do. Making their lives easier using m$ is of _no
benefit_ to LO.

Nothing to do with LO. Are these people using LO with authorisation
from those who decided to use m$ by default? The duplication of
documents in multiple formats is entirely the responsibility of the
organisation; nothing to do with LO.

They should have thought about this before deciding upon m$!

Total nonsense. The only result would be: "fantastic, we can continue
to use LO as a m$ clone and increase the proliferation of m$ file
formats" Even m$ would find that scenario (m$ documents being created
by LO) preferable to an increase in quantities of odf documents being
distributed.

Lack of strategic analysis is preventing growth in the use of odf...
