Microsoft goes public with Office file format
Microsoft has decided to make the file formats of it's Office Suit public. The file formats of Word, Excell and PowerPoint will be released before the upcoming Office 12. At least that is what Microsoft is aiming for.
Microsoft wants the document formats of it's Office Open XML to have international recognition and hopes to get an ISO certification for it.
According to Microsoft the pressure from local governments has contributed to the attempt to publish it's document formats as an open standard.
If the Microsoft document format will become an open standard, this will be the end of close document formats at Microsoft.
