Microsoft

Microsoft is continuing its embrace, extend and exterminate strategy.

The reality is that the Office Open XML standard does not implement 100% of the XML that is produced by Microsoft Office 2007.

Therefore, anyone using the so called standard proposed by Microsoft can never be assured of full compliance with Office 2007 documents.

Hence, Microsoft's proposed standard is a farce and is simply designed to create a good impression that Microsoft supports standards.

However, the reality is different. Microsoft's key office product has already extended beyond the standard.
