  • Geesh! The FUD and the spin.

  • Every pro-Microsoft speaker here is a flat-out liar with deliberately misleading statements. Microsoft's format is NOT open. It is controlled through elaborate licensing restrictions which allow Microsoft to retain control of the formats, which in turn locks people into their software. Other companies are certainly self-interested, but only in removing Microsoft's monopoly on document formats and level the playing field.
