Office 2007 Pro Plus cl�� OpenDocument Foundation

[ningxiales]

The OpenDocument Foundation - a group whose title and charter would lead one particular to believe that that it had been backing the OpenDocument Format (ODF), but which ended up backing a different document format rather - has closed its doors. Hiser,Office 2007 Standard, a programs consultant who was Vice President & Director Business Affairs at the OpenDocument Foundation,Office 2007 Pro Plus cl��, confirmed that ODF is closing its doorways in a blog post on November 13. Hiser and a number of the other OpenDocument Basis backers earlier this year decided to throw their weight behind a Worldwide Web Consortium document standard, the Compound DOcument Format (CDF), and back away from ODF. OpenDocument Foundation, at a person point,Office 2007 Professional, was just one of the major critics of Microsoft's attempt to get its ODF alternative,Office Enterprise 2007, Office Open XML (OOXML),Office 2010 Professional Plus, branded as an open standard. Microsoft lost its attempt earlier this year to get OOXML fast -tracked as an ISO standard. An ISO ballot-resolution meeting on OOXML is slated for February 2008. Sun Microsystems, Google and other ODF backers are continuing in their campaign to fight OOXML. Microsoft is pushing for standards recognition for OOXML, in large part, so that Office 2007, which uses OOXML as its default file format, will qualify for lucrative government and commercial IT contracts that call for and other products that compete with Microsoft Office. Office still has more than 90 percent of the Windows desktop-productivity-suite market. are some who think the OpenDocument Foundation's passing won't matter. But I maintain the public splintering of the ODF community is definitely creating confusion from which OOXML is likely to benefit. do you think: Will the OpenDocument Foundation's death have any impact on OOXML's future, a person way or the other? are closed for business forever.
