[News] OpenXML = Lockin; OpenDocument = Interoperability

Interoperability vs. intraoperability: your open choice

,----[ Quote ]
| Interoperability driven by open standards increases competition,
| provides more choice of applications to customers, and drives down
| prices. Customers can interchange, or substitute, one piece of
| software from one provider for another. The central provider in
| the middle of an interoperability situation hates this true,
| open interoperability. Customers love it.
