Story: OOXML backwards compatibility led Microsoft to ODF

•

Interesting Turn of Events

Looks like Microsoft has realised that a poorly written standard is complex if not impossible to use so are now trying to backtrack and use ODF instead. After spending all that time and effort pushing OOXML through the standards selection process they have obviously sat down and realised that not only can no one else implement OOXML but they can't either. Hopefully they will start to play the game and concentrate on making ODF a better standard rather than trying to mess everything up by producing their own train crash of a standard.
