boycottnovell.com — Open source? Microsoft?!?! Yes, indeedy? as long as it?s all about Microsoft and all about its proprietary software stack ? from an operating system (Windows) to databases and to proprietary file formats like OOXML and XAML.

There's a great comment below the article by Jose_X that sums it all up very clearly:"Avoid OOXML because it is such a mess. It’s inconsistent, ambiguous, underspecified, and not very open to changes as the ECMA and ISO fast-track process demonstrated. Its only attraction from the user perspective is the completely misplaced hope that it will somehow lead to good and lasting interop with Monopolyware. [Avoid Monopolyware.]" Avoid Monopolyware, indeed.
