The decision, to be officially announced on Wednesday, has been over 14 months in the making. Last September, the standardization was rejected as the format did not receive the required two-thirds of votes from participating national body members of the ISO, but a second ballot that closed on Saturday netted a 75 percent majority in favor. The argument against certification centers around the existence of the ISO-approved Open Document Format (ODF), with critics saying more than one standard is redundant. Also, the existing ODF standard is considered more universal and is supported by open productivity suites such as OpenOffice. With the international ratification of OOXML, Microsoft is believed to have an easier time winning government contracts and having developers create new software. Open XML formats allow reporting of information from other applications and systems without having to translate them first. Open XML now joins HTML, PDF and ODF as recognized open document format standards.

Seems like the cart is squarely before the 3 week old puppy. posted by Flying Meat 221125 04/01, 6:40pm, EDT Re: I still can't Well, now that it is a standard, it should be no time at all for various places to make conversion software for their document formats. Come on, you can't expect MS to be able to do all the work! They're a small company just trying to stay afloat.
