Readers,
M$ is allegedly seeking to invest in "interoperability" and open
source:

Perhaps more for 'Groklaw', but isn't this a potential trojan horse to
pollute GPLv3? We will see true "interoperability" only when odf and
openformula become the defaults within m$o. Until then, please avoid
creation of m$ formats using LO and continue to promote odf.
If MS publishes announcements like this one, this is the best indicator
that nothing will actually happen. It's the usual appeasement blah blah
towards the public sector.
They just have to wait for their users (and LibO) to spread more OOXML
documents. Then they have pushed their new de-facto standard.
