ODF infighting could help Microsoft’s OOXML | |

Microsoft’s battle with backers of the Open Document Format (ODF) standard could end up going the way that so many contests do: Won by Microsoft as much — if not more — because of the ineptitude of its competition than by Redmond’s prowess. Just as Netscape and Sony ended up their own worst enemies, the ODF camp might unravel before Microsoft’s rival Office Open XML (OOXML) comes up for final international standardization vote early next year. Microsoft lost a vote earlier this year to get OOXML on the ISO fast track. A number of ODF backers are abandoning ODF and throwing their weight behind the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C Compound Document Format (CDF). | ||

| What infighting? The OpenDocument Foundation, despite their name, has nothing, zero, nada to do with the ODF standard and its direction. Their stated mandate has always been to promote 100% compatibility with MS Office documents. They are basically a lobby and nothing more. Indeed, by the FOSS community at large, they are seen as MS shills/astroturfers that are using their official-sounding name to get more exposure for their agenda. It's no surprise that they are now disavowing ODF as a standard in favour of something more in tune with Microsoft. I wonder if they'll now change their name to the Compound Document Foundation. |
