Hi Everyone,

When the Microsoft formats were approved as an ISO standard, wasn't that supposed to make the information on their formats available to everyone else? From what I've read through the years, they have failed to implement their own ISO standards. Shouldn't there be some way to enforce the ISO standards approval on Microsoft so they can become inter-operable with LibreOffice?

It would help immensely if the Open Source folks would combine their efforts on one excellent MS alternative. The twin development of AOO and LibO (with each having its own advantages over the other), only helps MS.
