Purported OOXML

Mike McGarel |   | Tags:  microsoft humor ooxml | Comments (2)  |  Visits (632)
 I'm adding the term "purported" when referring  to Microsoft's Office Open XML because:
  • As it written now, Office doesn't use it.
  • It is filled with proprietary specifications so it is not really open.
  • It is not very good XML.
Hence I will use the new acronym: POOXML.

(Childish, I know.)

I like it! I wonder how many ISO standards are out there that are so bad that nobody uses them?

I don't think MS cares if it gets used -- for them, it's probably just a marketing tool.
