I am not hating open source, I find it great and I love my linux box.

Fact is, that since I set up my company, I have seen many kind of documents, even under PowerPoint for Office 95. I have yet to see the first ODF document.
Trados is supporting ODF but what's the point, I have never received one and we are not the one to decide in which format the texts are coming.

Please ask around any translators if they see many ODF. That will be the first indicator of it being used by business and not what governments are saying.

I need to reformat the home partition because otherwise I have a ghost partition. Telling me I have  2 GB used and 5 GB free out of a 86 GB home partition. For my purpose it's to small.
