Microsoft Spokesman Says ODF "Clearly Won" Standard War

Posted by kdawson on from the it's-just-better dept.

Elektroschock writes "At a Red Hat retrospective panel on the ODF vs. OOXML struggle panel, a Microsoft representative, Stuart McKee, admitted that ODF had 'clearly won.' The Redmond company is going to add native support of ODF 1.1 with its Office 2007 service pack 2. Its yet unpublished format ISO OOXML will not be supported before the release of the next Office generation. Whether or not OOXML ever gets published is an open question after four national bodies appealed the ISO decision."

    OK, this is the first shoe to drop. (Sorry British Columbia, no offense)

    No problem -- we can take a joke. We're easy-going that way. BC'ers have a reputation for being footless and fancy-free.
