Open Office Wars, Part 8


Robert Sutor: To be clear, there is nothing preventing Microsoft and others from implementing and supporting the OASIS OpenDocument format. And Bob has more links.

I’ve been following this for quite some time.

The question I have to ask (again) is: if Microsoft can produce updates to Office 2000, XP, and 2003 that will allow those versions to read and write their new format, why can’t they produce updates to read and write the OASIS standard?
