1. Comment - Now a British educational agency raises alarms on OXML

   (May 16, 2008 - 9:06 AM)

   After reading the article and most of the comments I can only say I'm very much shocked. As for the claim that Microsoft has intentionally withheld information on OXML... WTF?! The standard is out... right? So if Microsoft wishes to have some extra "features" or whatever in OXML then shall they do it... but they can't call out that they're using the standard. As for OO and OXML... why the hell should Microsoft be spoken respobsible for the developers of OO not being able to write a decent software?
   
   It is really weird, many people shout out that Microsoft has too much power and is abusing it but hell... it seems that those who are fighting against many of Microsoft's methods are actully playing directly in MS's hands.
   It is an ISO standard. Go with it or leave it.
   
   Also if people want to use ODF and if Office doesn't support it... again, why being angry at MS? I develop a software; it has certain features. If you don't like it leave it. Not my problem if the alternatives just aren't quite what you're looking for. Hire another developer to build you a plug-in for ODF support.
   
   Seriously people, stop blaming start working yourself.
