Interesting headline, but what is meant by the format is still
unproven? What is it that this format has not shown that it can do?
If you want an answer to this question, don't bother to read the
linked article. It is not found in it.
The only thing I found that was "unproven" was whether business
will be willing to leave MS Office for a different office suite which
uses the format. Ms Office already has a converter for the ODF
formats. If this format is unproven, why would MS create this
converter?
