This is huge news for all PDF skeptics among us. According to Brian Jones who works with the MS Office team, the next release of Microsoft Office, currently code-named Microsoft Office "12", is going to natively support the Adobe PDF format. In other words, in future you'll be able to use Office to convert these yucky PDF documents into more widely supported formats.

Update: Laurens correctly pointed out that "support" goes only so far as to Microsoft implementing PDF export. Not exactly what we wanted.
