Microsoft denies preparations to support OpenDoc in Office 12 | |

| Time: 09:32 EST/14:32 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: John Quigley | ||

Redmond (Washington) - In a statement to TG Daily, a Microsoft spokesperson has officially denied that the company is making plans to support OpenDocument Format (ODF), the XML-based file structure developed for Microsoft Office's open-source competitor, OpenOffice.org. "We have no plans to directly support the OpenDocument format at this time," reads the statement, e-mailed to us this afternoon. "Our standards-based formats for Office 2003, as well as our announcement that XML will be the default file format in Office '12,' have been extremely well received by customers and partners, including over 330,000 developers who are leveraging Office's XML support already. We fully expect partners, independent companies, and competitors to provide converters between our Open XML formats and the OpenDocument formats, and are aware of a few projects along these lines already." | ||

| Microsoft talking out of both sides of its mouth again. Yesterday we had the story where an MS exec admitted that they have been working with a French company to test out ODF support. Today they deny it. How much more flip-flopping can they do? |

| #1 - There's a big difference between MS helping a third party ISV develop a converter product, and developing and supporting it themselves. |
