I always think that Microsoft should just try open standards once. I mean really try it. Why not implement ODF natively in Office? They have the technology. Clearly, OOXML isn't working for them. True, it would lose them some business, especially over the long term. But on the other hand, it at least lets them keep government business in the short term. And, of course, they'd earn some /genuine/ karma.
