not that microsoft actually follows those standards 100%.
Comment on Why doesn't more software support ODF / ODS files?
9point6@lemmy.world 1 week agoOh, I feel like I’ve gotta let you know the (post 2003/7?) Microsoft formats are technically “open” in that the spec is available for anyone to implement
They saw ODF coming and made sure to kneecap any advantage
#3 is an incredibly recent development. You don’t need to go back even half a decade before everyone was happily gargling Microsoft

Ah! They are open? Partly my bad then. I also wondered if ODF was written in a way that prohibited online collaboration, or at least made it very expensive.
Yeah, on #3 I think I misremembered how far back France started using open source. Hopefully this means more ODF native options
