    It specifically says that performance wasn’t benchmarked.

    The root cause is incompatibility with Microsoft’s proprietary document format causing fuckiness for LibreOffice based Collabora. E.g. formatting issues.

    They could’ve tried the Russian alternative but I guess they’d prefer to gargle Microsoft’s fetid cock some more.

      the Russian alternative

      You say that like it’s not simply swapping which one you have in your mouth.

      I think they meant that the whole thing was “a performance”… A theater. Not that the performance of the product had anything to do with it.

        The format isn’t the problem; the rules for rendering content outside the PDF are more suggestions.

        And honestly, even if the rules were adhered to, there’s no way in F that Microsoft would comply just for this very reason

        It does export to odt, but it still messes up document formatting. Of course this is a solvable issue from a technical perspective, but it’s still a lot of man hours to do so for every single document and template across an entire government.

        Microsoft’s format is “open” but they don’t follow their own standard so it’s effectively proprietary. I’d be surprised if the odt export even works.
