1. Comment - First new principles, now an interoperability initiative for OOXML

   (Mar 7, 2008 - 12:44 AM)

   See what Joe Wilcox has to say about this PR initiative at

   "Microsoft's idea of a Document Interoperability Initiative is to put together a bunch of businesses that profit from file format incompatibilities. And that is supposed to demonstrate—quoting from the press release—"Microsoft's commitment to implement a set of strategic changes in its technology and business practices to expand interoperability through the implementation of its interoperability principles."
   
   "Microsoft could demonstrate sincerity about interoperability by working with OASIS on establishing a single standard for desktop productivity document formats. OASIS has a working group around ODF, but Microsoft isn't a participant.
   
   Instead, Microsoft's idea of interoperability initiative is the formation of a group made up of its own partners."
