Office 12 defaulting to .XML file format
----------------------------------------
"Using XML and Zip is not a unique approach, however, given that
open-source Office competitor OpenOffice (sponsored by Sun) has been
using an XML-based file format and Zip compression to store files. The
OpenOffice XML file format specification is maintained by an OASIS
technical committee. According to a Microsoft spokesperson, 
Openoffice.org has royalty-free access to the specs for the Office Open
XML formats to ensure file compatibility."
