Microsoft joins group key to ODF standards adoption
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
In a move some think has the potential to stall the adoption of OpenDocument Format as an international standard, Microsoft has joined a group that takes part in the International Organization for Standardization voting process to standardize ODF.
Microsoft has joined the V1 Text Processing: Office and Publishing Systems Interface group within the International Committee for Information Technology Standards, a Washington-based organization. INCITS is involved in recommending what technologies should become ISO standards, and the V1 Text Processing group in particular deals with office document formats.
