| OpenDocument took another step away from obscurity Tuesday, as Apple 
| confirmed that Mac OS X version 10.5 -- known as "Leopard" -- will natively 
| support ODF files, alongside Microsoft's Word 2007 formats. Apple had 
| previously added support for the format in its Pages word processing 

| application.

| "[Microsoft:] For example, we should take the lead in establishing a common
| approach to UI and to interoperability (of which OLE is only a part). Our
| efforts to date are focussed too much on our own apps, and only incidentally
| on the rest of the industry. We want to own these standards, so we should
| not participate in standards groups. Rather, we should call 'to me' to the
| industry and set a standard that works now and is for everyone's
| benefit. We are large enough that this can work."
