<OFF THE RECORD> I share the same concerns as you, but one thing is for sure, WYSIWYG/XML/Traditional editors will become mainstream sooner then most people expected. This can only be good for users (For CMS Vendors probably not or may be that ...).
>... though, given the proprietary lock that decision imposes I don't see any proprietary lock, at least in this case the locking is no more then the common (even in OpenSource). Furthermore, with the advent of Webservices, SOAP, XML and WEBDav, Office 11 seams to be a good choice to create content while managing it in whatever CMS (OpenSource or not). >I'm not sure the average cms developer/user is going to buy into the Office >paradigm ... Developers, I'm not sure, but user's they may. Anyway, there is more MS Office users then CMS users. (Is one looking to expand the market or what? :) Of course this all will depend on Microsoft ability to convince their current customer's to upgrade their Office licenses. That is why I'm not holding my breath still. >MS focused Intranet users look like the biggest target. I would not be so sure of that (WebServices will be like electronic business worms).
