Look how the mighty have fallen
All parts of Microsoft that I work with have recently been "embracing" open standards, in a struggle to keep up with the real world. These very same standards that Microsoft once wouldn't even piss on, less than a decade ago - and their fans would laugh at. Who's laughing now, "micro" "soft"?
Open standards will save Microsoft's arse, just like they do to everyone else. It doesn't matter who you are, and that's the beauty of it.
But as usual they'll make their typically crappy implementation, then declare: "Look how shit it is, we told you so!"
