Three Chinese Ministries Promote UOF Office Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Ren predicts that the UOF standard will be promoted in at least six
| ministries in China by the end of 2008 and then might become compulsory among
| other Chinese entities. This should ruffle some feathers at Sun, IBM, and
| Microsoft.

Microsoft's OOXML Corruptions Still Followed by Exclusion of #1 Rival?
Microsoft denies it now, but...
SFLC Analysis of Microsoft's OSP: No Assurance for Developers
,----[ Quote ]
| This is a significant development. The Software Freedom Law Center has now
| published an analysis of Microsoft's Open Specification Promise that it
| attaches to OOXML, and it finds that the promise provides no assurance for
| FOSS developers.
|
| [...]
|
| In other words, I read that as saying that Microsoft says you can use it, but
| only in a very limited field of use defined by Microsoft, and only as long as
| you don't use it the way Microsoft knows FOSS developers use code. Like their
| lawyers didn't realize. Hardy har.
|
| So, if and when Microsoft/Ecma/supporters try to tell you NBs any different,
| now you have this paper to rely upon. Please ask yourselves, if FOSS
| developers can't use OOXML, in what way can it be called a standard? A
| standard Microsoft's number one competition can't safely use?
