Standard troubles...

So, the opening of Microsoft's document format may not be all it was cracked up to be... Does anyone else see the similarity between this and their fight against the iPod? From that article, "It is important for the industry to create an open, industrywide standard for docking connectors that will give consumers greater access to the digital entertainment they have stored on devices," Jai Jaisimha, the lead program manager in Microsoft's Windows digital media division, said in a statement.

Change a few words in that paragraph, and you could easily get a similar statement for document access:
It is important for the industry to create an open, industry wide standard for [word processing documents] that will give consumers greater access to the digital [content] they have stored [anywhere].
