ah the  MS format war ...... whats sad is they been caught buying out people
to vote yes.
oh and currently only there office suit opens these new formats and people
are hitting walls using the provided specs to make filters for openoffice
..... oh and just because its a zipped xml files yet if you edit simple
things office rejects it as an error

ya and my college is forcing it allready too , i can open .Docs fine but so
far nothing opens this new format ...

basicly this is to make a half open spec a standard so they can sell / lock
more people into there office suit

even as xml they made sure in order to read it 100% in another program you
have to still reverse engineer the bugs in the way office stores the
information .

they want this bad ..... so theres a solution that leads to them ........
