You know, strictly speaking Massachusetts isn't switching from Microsoft to OpenOffice. Massachusetts is switching to the OpenDoc standard. Although OpenOffice developed OpenDoc, anyone can implement it into their word processors, including Corel (Wordperfect) and Microsoft.
However, Microsoft refuses to support OpenDoc, even after Massachusetts made this announcement.
So, in essence, Massachusetts isn't rejecting Microsoft, Microsoft is rejecting Massachusetts, unless Massachusetts plays by MS' rules.

I think if Microsoft were to use OpenDoc they would be to lazy to play by OpenDoc's rules. They would just butcher the format and add features that isn't compatible with other software. They would attempt to hijack the standard.

Well, that is their modus operandi for killing competition, isn't it? That or embedding something in the operating system.
