LibreOffice accuses Microsoft of exploiting users through vendor lock-in by using complex proprietary formats and has released a free guide to migrate to the open ODF standard.
The migration guide outlines five steps: learn ODF’s advantages, inventory documents, plan the workflow, convert and back up files, and enforce ODF as the default format.
LibreOffice warns that proprietary formats threaten privacy, long-term access, and data ownership, and claims other office suites also hinder user switching.
