Brazil, India and South Africa have filed appeals to the ISO/IEC approval of Microsoft
I don't get why people don't like MS's new document format. It couldn't be any simpler. It's a zipped XML document. If you lose the program that created it, you can just unzip it and open it in a text editor and now you have your data back. Granted, it won't be in a nice format or anything, but it's a fairly simple concept and it would be really easy to recover data in cases of system failure. The only thing that could really make it any better is if they used a better compression algorithm like lzma.
