It is difficult for microsoft, becuase they would have to implement it
correctly.  And that means that they have to fix all of the bugs that
cause documents created in MSO 2003 to be incompatible with MSO 2003.

Another quote from the rticle:

single release and nobody thought about it. Now, what people are
saying is, "We don't mind change, we like change, but we want it to
have very specific value propositions."

I do not know _any_ business that likes to change their file formats,
simply because the software programmer made a whimsical decision to
change file formats.
