I don't think you're wrong...
Talkback That being said, I think that Microsoft have created for themselves a giant OXML shaped rod for their own backs. I rather thing America might accidentally manufacture proper beer before Microsoft is compliant with OXML.

Microsoft attacks IBM over ODF
News Microsoft has been involved in developing a rival open office standard, Open XML (OXML). It's not designed with one vendor in mind, unlike OXML," Marino Marcich, managing director of the ODF Alliance, told ZDNet UK.

Actually its an IBM Witch Hunt and you should get your facts right!
Talkback OXML as you know was developed at Ecma and therefore would come into ISO under the Fast Track process. OXML is in the ISO Fast Track because it was not developed at ISO, but rather at Ecma. Ask IBM (which now implements OXML in 4 of its products...

Speaking of witch hunts...
Talkback Ask IBM (which now implements OXML in 4 of its products), Apple, Google, Novell, and the many OXML implementers. >> Thousands of pages beceause it is a better, richer standard that enables many features that ODF does not (backward compatibility...

ISO says no to OOXML appeals
Blog Comment I think it'll be amusing to see Microsoft pulling out the OXML argument when they can't do it themselves. Well, what goes around comes around. For that matter I would suggest that they are emotionally incapable of complying with standards unless...

Talk about missing the point so completely
Talkback Given Microsoft pushes their flavour of OXML, where does that leave your documents? Will you be able to read/write them in a few years? How will you ensure that you don't waste vast amounts of time/effort/money keeping them up to date with wherever...

@nicos
Talkback What is OXML? How come I have never heard of it? I would urge you, as a Microsoft employee, to read: [http://www.odfalliance.org/resources/Disposition%20of%20Comments.pdf] part C page 10] The current name is "Office Open XML" or OOXML for short...

Massachusetts to use both Open XML and ODF
Talkback Can you save documents written by Mac OS, or Linux in OXML? Here we go again, M$ trying to make their products the world's standard. Or, what about docs written in win98? This may come back to bite them later.

EIOffice Competitive Upgrade
Blog Comment EIOffice does not seem to support (O)OXML or ODF after all. Oops! Correction Mea Culpa. I got carried away. It supports MS file formats up to Office 2003 so far as I can tell. That would seem to limit its usability a bit into the future.

Really - what do you think of the real story and facts???
Talkback BTW - "Fast Track" is anything that is not developed at ISO, but submitted from another recognized open standards organization; there are no IPR issues with Open XML; there are tons of independent implementations of OXMl, including from Apple...

Microsoft's mixed messages over ODF
News McGrath said that applications such as OpenOffice, which runs on ODF, would not fully support documents created in Microsoft applications such as Office 2007, which runs on the rival Open XML standard (OXML).

Compatibility?
Talkback Unfortunately Microsoft’s own open document standard (OXML) has been approved dose any one know if they will also support ODF standard? I think the main problem would be if you do decide to try open-office and save it in the open document format...

Truth or Dare
Talkback Then there's also the (O)OXML saga (debacle) adding further confusion and doubt, mudying the water so to speak and in effect restoring the status quo whereby M$ proprietry formats are the De Facto standard, whilst at the same time not achieving...
