Is proprietary software dead? Will everyone be using only open source software soon? The answers are NO and NO.

Businesses today will be using both forms of software to deploy the most cost-effective and flexible solutions to serve their customers and to maintain their competitive edge and more importantly, to differentiate. The only way to get true interoperability and these potential cost savings inside your company and with your partners and customers is to use true open standards. Your new office applications will depend on them. Your businesses will depend on them. So will your competitors.
