Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney appointed a successor to the departed CIO of the state's Information Technology Division, Peter Quinn, and stood behind the current plan to implement OpenDocument Format support by January 2007. Consortiuminfo.org's Andy Updegrove Microsoft criticized the recommendation publicly, and said it had no intention of supporting ODF within Office.
