Microsoft must drop its Office politics | |
|
||
| Time: 11:31 EST/16:31 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

Microsoft is upset that Massachusetts is mandating industry standard document formats. A simple solution that will satisfy everyone exists The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has decided that all state organisations should use open standards for their documents. Assuming that open standards exist which are capable of supporting the work the state does, this should be an unexceptional decision; accessibility for as broad a range of citizens and organisations as possible is a primary responsibility for any government. Yet this is far from unexceptional. The open standard chosen, OpenDocument from OASIS, is not supported by Microsoft Office. Moreover, Microsoft says that OpenDocument won't be supported in the upcoming Office 12, which has its own Microsoft Office Open XML standard. In effect, Massachusetts is mandating a state-wide migration away from MS Office. | ||
