Everyone else besides MS has chosen interoperability. For MS it's the same old broken mess: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=2009050712493241 http://www.robweir.com/blog/2009/05/update-on-odf-spreadsheet.html MS was never about interoperability, rather the opposite: http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20070127202224445 There's not an excuse any more for supporting or even accepting MS products, and a growing case that advocating such use of products treads into the realm of willful negligence or even criminal mischief. MSO, for example, is tying businesses to outdated and dangerous platforms. > Who else's lead would you suggest to follow? OASIS. It's their standard.
