  1. Re:Most important question by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on OpenOffice 3.1 Released
    You're not going into enough detail to actually form a reasonable opinion here. Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 does not comply with ODF 1.1 despite Microsoft claiming otherwise. Despite the claims of ODF 1.1 says of spreadsheet formulas that "Addresses in formulas start with a "[" and end with a "]"" but Microsofts implementation doesn't do that.

    The biggest reason why Microsoft Office 2007's ODF implementation is inexcusable is that their previous plugin, the CleverAge plugin, was better. The previous CleverAge plugin along with every other ODF implementation supported OpenFormula and deemed it stable enough to implement, and lots of standards like HTML5 are implemented in draft form.

    HTML can <embed> MS SilverLight... so pages comply with W3C HTML but the page isn't as interoperable as it should be. Microsofts native ODF really went out of their way to make a broken standard and to create confusion around ODF compliance.

  5. Re:Isn't the whole idea of a standard by Froqen · · Score: 1 · on ISO Releases OOXML FAQ

    > This "standard" is completely irrelevant as a standard. No one, absolutely no one, is going to implement it. Not even Microsoft.

    BS: Microsoft has pledged to support it in public. So assuming that the OpenOffice implementation of OOXML continues, it will support it too.

    > No company is going to be allowed to implement it and become a competitive threat to Microsoft. Microsoft will shut them down with Patent Violations.

    Again BS: The OSP pretty much crushes that arguement. Even the main point in the SFLC anaylsis about future versions has been addressed.

    Your core arguements seem to be strictly Proof by Assertion
