Sounds like Apple’s Pages format now….it also uses XML as its file format…

Yeah, it really is a good move!

In other news, a Microsoft chairman announced that they will start selling state-of-the-art Ice-Cube makers to sell in Hell.

This sounds like brilliant news to me. Suddenly 3rd party apps might be able to easily support the new majority format.

Of course I’m still wondering if MS will find a way to make things difficult still. Maybe it will be XML but they will change the specs for it every few months :P or its a type of broken xml? any ideas?

is microsoft actually making a 100% good move for once?

I think that at this point they really need to reinvent word. It’s getting crazier by the release.

So they’re taking lesson from OpenOffice.org and company. OO.o’s file formats have been that way for years. Should certainly make it easier for Office replacments to get the file formats right. Although, they’re probably rebuilding the wheel again. Oh well.

This sounds retarded.
