Shuttleworth: Emerging consensus in favour of a unified document format standard?Shuttleworth: Emerging consensus in favour of a unified document format standard?Posted Aug 14, 2007 17:03 UTC (Tue) by mbottrell (guest, #43008)In reply to: Shuttleworth: Emerging consensus in favour of a unified document format standard? by cpm Parent article: Shuttleworth: Emerging consensus in favour of a unified document format standard?
Microsoft adopt ODF... very unlikely.
Microsoft is used to controlling their fleet, handing over 'control' of their filetype to a 3rd party just doesn't suit their current business model.
It also drops their biggest reason users remain with MS-Office... vendor lock-in.
If you can write the same document (file spec wise) in MS-Office or OpenOffice/StarOffice... one would question why you would remain with MS-Office.
Sad .. but true.
