Microsoft accuses IBM of Office standards sabotage
The software giant has published an open letter accusing Big Blue of trying to sabotage its plans to have the Office Open XML specification accepted by the ISO.
By Matt Whipp,
"We have listened to our customers. They want choice. They want interoperability. They want innovation. We and others believe that Open XML achieves all these goals, and we look forward to supporting Ecma as it works positively with national standards bodies throughout the ISO/IEC process."
IBM declined to comment on the letter.
