One of the main barriers to the wider adoption of the OpenOffice.org (OOo) suite by Mac users is its dependence on X11, as few of them are comfortable working in that environment.

In the past, I have been less than flattering over Microsoft’s OpenXML document format. Make no mistake, an open file format is definitely a must-have but is OpenXML the right one? Nevertheless, OpenXML exists so let’s be pragmatic about it: OpenXML can bridge the gap between Windows and Linux. In fact, it can open up whole new opportunities for Linux coders to produce documents in a Microsoft-friendly format.

Those in the open source/open documents community now jumping with joy at the failure of Microsoft yesterday to win approval for Open OfficeXML from the International Standards Organization as a global standard should probably take a breather and reflect upon the fact that Microsoft is almost over the line already.
