it's not even funny anymore!

How can they expect to achieve anything with 3rd party standards they have not managed to achieve with in-house standards?

Interoperability of Microsoft's own products is really bad ... as soon as you update any node the whole system becomes buggy, unusable.

I guess next year's office will be compliant with draft 0.1 of the OpenDocument standard, you know the proof of concept stage.

Then again, I am sure the OpenDocument folks have published better documentation on their standard than Microsoft has ever read ... ;-)

L'espoir fait vivre, excuse my French ;-).
