- newbill123, on 01/23/2008, -1/+9To the DataPortability folks, it's just a big deal to get the Microsoft name on their list of supporters. But Microsoft is a huge organization and with plans which can sometimes be openly contradictory. If this is a push to integrate web and desktop standards, that's a significant and scary territory they're treading. If it's just a "me too" kind of effort to make Windows Live appear just as open as other popular services... well, that's probably an insignificant move.

- metafluence, on 01/23/2008, -3/+9Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Microsoft is spending a ton of money watching out for competitors to their trembling empire.
- butabi, on 01/23/2008, -0/+6yes!
- bootle, on 01/23/2008, -6/+11Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. M$ reaches stage one.
- piesforyou, on 01/23/2008, -1/+6I love lamp
- snotrokit, on 01/23/2008, -3/+8“Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.” Sun Tzu
- ba747heavy, on 01/23/2008, -6/+10Now if only they would join in with open formats....
- Phocion55, on 01/23/2008, -1/+6Having been actively working with the APML specs as of late, I'll reserve my judgment until I actually work with the participating MS members.
Should be interesting. - KCorax, on 01/23/2008, -3/+6Actually they have published specifications and common C++ SDKs for both the binary and xml Office formats. So... they kinda have.
- chriskeyes, on 01/24/2008, -0/+2Just in case you guys didn't know, Google and Facebook are also on board with that site too.
- Ev3nt372, on 01/23/2008, -0/+2I have no problem with websites allowing you to use your Windows Live ID sign-in as an option.
- Stonekeeper, on 01/23/2008, -4/+5obligatory trap comment
- vibrokatana, on 01/23/2008, -10/+11They probably want to extend and destroy.
- MWeather, on 01/23/2008, -3/+4Those are not open formats they're open proprietary specifications, and FYI they have not opened their XML format. The format they're trying to get ISO approval for isn't the one Word can write. In fact there is no program which can create that format.
- ssttuu, on 01/23/2008, -2/+3Reminds me of another empire, The USA.
- asurroca, on 01/23/2008, -2/+2I see what you did there
- chadadams, on 01/23/2008, -4/+2Didn't we have something like this from Microsoft before? Passport (Live ID)? Anyone?...
It's mostly the same as before expect using "open" formats. - melonhedd, on 01/23/2008, -2/+0Somehow Digg has become even worse than Fark.
- vwvan, on 01/23/2008, -8/+6microsoft wolves guarding the data henhouse
- evantravers, on 04/03/2009, -7/+3Dugg so more people can see this comment.
- inactive, on 01/23/2008, -10/+5Whup! Another good thing ruin by MS. WEEEEEE
