Hi Artiomix,

I really like your blog and recommend it wherever I can – but I think here Michael is right. We shouldn’t support OXML, but rather point to resources like http://blogs.sun.com/malte/entry/sun_odf_plugin_1_1 to help those who have to use M$ stuff at work.

Anyway, thanks for all your great work – it’s appreciated!

Hi Michael Rudas,

First, thank you for commenting.

Second, I completely agree with you that there is nothing open in “Open XML” and ODF is better but I still think that downloadable copy of the above mentioned book would save some money of OpenXML developers. And I don’t want to incline anybody to use Microsoft’s format instead of ODF.

P.S. Microsoft sucks! Are you satisfied now?

Why are you carrying Microsoft’s water? Or, worse yet, using MS’s water to douse open document standards? There is nothing “open” about Open XML– except the obviousness of the blatant and naked attempt to hijack the document standards process.

Even Microsoft themselves have admitted– in print– that they are not obligated to adhere to a standard that THEY THEMSELVES developed. Why should WE waste our time with it?
