[Pc_Support] Quote of the day: "Microsoft making Office open source"

[Bryan J. Smith]

Gotta hand it to Ziff-Davis' Web Buyer's Guide.
They called Microsoft's announcement as "open source."

Not only is it not open source, but as we saw with the EMCA
standardization of C#/.NET, it doesn't guarantee
completeness.

I'll believe MS Office 12's XML when I see not only the full
spec, but the full spec followed in MS Office 12 itself.  ;->

Until then, I'll just consider it another Microsoft created
standard that it didn't atop -- much like MS Office 11's XML.
