ODF - OOXML - Special Symphony Edition
ODF is the backdrop for today's
successful announcement from IBM's Software Group, which unveiled Symphony, a
suite of free personal productivity tools based on ODF. The document format was
positioned as an enabler of a new generation of Web 2.0-capable tools that allow
people to collaborate in a more intuitive way, and seamlessly funnel information
to business applications, middleware and the Web.
Nearly all of the stories (well over 100 in
the U.S. alone) noted that this comes at a time when momentum is building for
open standards, particularly ODF. The articles noted that other vendors are
introducing their own ODF-based software, and companies that are in favor of
proprietary formats are encountering rejection from the regulatory, legal and
technical communities.
