MS does it again, of course
It is open, free, and certified as an ISO standard, and many people see ODF as the way forward for office document formats.
So of course, Microsoft has to do something else and deviate from an ISO standard in their aim to rule the computer world, and offer MS Office Open XML (OOXML).
Why is it that Microsoft always think themselves above agreed worldwide standards, and push their own formats down everyone’s throats?
Because they can?
Well, one day it will all catch up with them. Sony learnt the hard way - eventually. Let’s hope Microsoft do too, and fall in line and develop open, transparent solutions along with everyone else in the industry. it’s not as if their solutions are generally any better.
Corel Corporation announced today that it will offer support for both ODF and OOXML formats.
