Researcher: IT vendors should fix interoperability mess
,----[ Quote ]
| Egyedi, a researcher of standards at the Technical University in Delft, the
| Netherlands, this Sunday emailed a public letter to representatives at of IT
| venders Sun, Microsoft and HP, to standard organisations ISO, Oasis and ECMA
| as well as policy makers at the European Commission. "ISO's approval of a
| second, overlapping standard will not have lessened government fears about
| interoperability in a multi-vendor environment. The market has become less
| rather than more transparent."
