Few of OOXML's Flaws Have Been Addressed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the digging-under-the-hood dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "IBM's Rob Weir has done a study on how many flaws were addressed by the OOXML Ballot Resolution Meeting. So far, using a random sampling technique, he has yet to find a flaw that was addressed, making the upper bound a paltry 1.5%. Even so, he's found a number of new flaws, including a security vulnerability: OOXML stores passwords in database connection strings in plain text. At least there were no mistakes on five of the first twenty five random pages he reviewed."

    What "Open" format do you propose, ShitML? You fucking nerds are all the same with your bullshit backed up by no original ideas.
