Microsoft's Office Open XML Becomes ISO Standard

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 2nd Apr 2008 17:54 UTC, submitted by Almafeta

"Microsoft's embattled Office Open XML document format received ISO fast-track approval after receiving support from approximately 86 percent of the national bodies that participated in the vote. ISO approval will be broadly perceived as a sign of validation for the document format which has received widespread criticism from technical experts and standards advocacy groups."

There is no gap. The format is not superior to ODF. It's just an excuse from MS.

So the lack of spreadsheet formulas is not a gap?

Absoulately I agree... MS Office is far superior to other office suites in features. Bridging gap is our responsibility.
