Microsoft Aims to Provide Customers with Choice for Document File Formats | |
|
||
| Time: 10:26 EST/15:26 GMT | News Source: Press Release | Posted By: Michael Dragone | ||
|
Since the launch of the 2007 Microsoft Office system this year, a thriving community has emerged around the Ecma Open XML file formats (also known in standards circles as ECMA-376) because of the formats’ many capabilities, including backwards compatibility with billions of existing documents and support for user-defined schema. But despite the rising popularity of this new international standard, Microsoft also realized that some customers may want to work with other formats, including the OpenDocument Format (ODF) 1.0, and committed itself to providing customers with choice, and to addressing the need for document interoperability. | ||

I'll believe this as being more than just the usual MS spin when there is a Save As... ODF entry that comes with Office by default, without needing some crappy external half-baked plugin that you have to manually download to do it. Yep, Microsoft... always about choice and interoperability.
