Microsoft attacks IBM over ODF
Microsoft has severely criticised IBM, saying the company is pushing the OpenDocument Format standard to the detriment of Microsoft's own Open XML standard.
OpenDocument Format (ODF) is an open standard based on XML, designed to be used in office-application development. Microsoft has been involved in developing a rival open office standard, Open XML (OXML).
Although the main contributor to ODF is Sun, Microsoft has attacked IBM for its support of ODF.
