Study Says OOXML Unsuitable For Norwegian Government

Posted by kdawson on from the party-like-it's-1997 dept.

angry tapir writes "Microsoft's XML-based office document format, OOXML, does not meet the requirements for governmental use, according to a new report published by the Norwegian Agency for Public Management and eGovernment (DIFI). The agency wants to start a debate over the report as part of its work on standards in the Norwegian government. (As we discussed a week ago, Denmark has already decided to choose ODF over OOXML.)"

    Can't the same be said for ODF if any countries choose it instead?

    But won't the top office suites just end up supporting both anyway?
