Re: More than Outlook
everybody else in Munich uses Windows, and that file compatibility is a problem
Which, in a world where Open Standards are mandated would be a problem for "everyone else", not Munich.
But we know Microsoft's approach to Open Standards - Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
In the case of common file formats for office data, they didn't even need to that - they implemented an undocumented (other than the code itself) de facto standard.
And when dragged screaming and kicking into the open standards world, they fixed that by getting a standard that included (undocumented) binary blobs approved
