[Pc_Support] Corel slower to support OpenDocument, despite standardization effort ...

[Bryan J. Smith]

Couple of interesting reads.  Personally, I think Corel is
going to slit its own throat if it doesn't get on-board with
OpenDocument XML.  It could sell a lot more copies to medical
and law firms if it would guarantee quality interoperability
with ODX.

And in other news, Microsoft continues to not only snub ODF,
but hasn't been exactly forthcoming on Office 12 XML any more
than they were on Office 11 (2003) XML, which not only didn't
document the back-end formats, not only isn't usable without
the MS Office suite, but isn't even compatible with Office 12
XML.

Standards or proprietary, MS Office remains a moving target
for itself.  As the MS Office for Mac developers have pointed
out, it has a lot to do with the x86/Win32-only codebase
itself.
