Microsoft's anti-ODF battle continues
Microsoft is far from done trying to convince people that its Open XML is an "open" standard that's every bit as good as the OpenDocument Format.
In its latest moves against ODF, Microsoft's Bill Gates speaking at the Microsoft Office System Developers Conference announced that the company had joined with 39 other organizations to form the Open XML Formats Developer Group.
According to Gates, this group is for organizations that are committed to supporting the Office Open XML format. The Microsoft-owned site is run by Doug Mahugh, a Microsoft "technical evangelist."
Microsoft claims that Apple, Intel, and numerous Microsoft partners and resellers, such as InterKnowlogy LLC and The Computer Solution Company, have joined the Open XML group.
