Document Interoperability Initiative Unveiled by Microsoft | |
|
||
| Time: 01:07 EST/06:07 GMT | News Source: Ent Mag | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Microsoft yesterday kicked off its plan to set up labs around the world to test the interoperability of various document formats, including Microsoft's Open Office XML (OOXML) format as well as the Open Document Format (ODF) originally developed by Sun Microsystems. The plan is called the "Document Interoperability Initiative," part of Microsoft's general "Interoperability Principles" announced last month. Microsoft now states that it plans to offer open protocols and open APIs to developers working with Microsoft's "high-volume products." Those products include Microsoft Exchange 2007, Office SharePoint Server 2007, the .NET Framework, Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Windows Vista. | ||

| They need multiple labs around the world to study document interoperability? Why couldn't they do that from Redmond? Sounds like theatre designed to give more weight to MS statement about interop... "Why, we're so serious about interoperability that we've set up labs all around the world!" I wonder if they have a ship like the Firebird that they can scramble with any time they get a report of incompatible documents somewhere in the world. |

#1: It's the same ship we use to alert the world when you've said something funny.
Needless to say, it's never been used... |

#2: I don't try to be funny here. On the flip-side, however, you've said a lot of things that made me laugh.
