    > Microsoft didn't take the existence of a recognized standard format for office files lying down and did what it always does in this situation – came up with its own rival version, also based on XML.

    It also activelly sabotages the rival adoption. To this day MSOffice doesn't allow me to open an ODS spreadsheet without getting a scare warning shoved in my face first.
