I learned from reading it that Microsoft has a commitment to open standards.


"As a part of Microsoft’s continued commitment to interoperability and 
standards support.."


But since this is a continuation ....

A far more effective and believable statement could have been made. 
Like, "just last week we pulled our head out of our ass.... and realized 
we have to share the planet with other software developers, some of whom 
have developed some pretty damn good standards".

They'll probably be calling me Monday, I better shut up. OK, OK, I'm 
shutting up, won't happen again.
