Just finished reading Christian Einfeldt's interview with Gary Edwards of OpenOffice and OASIS. Edwards reveals that IBM and Adobe, among others, are onboard with OpenDocument and explains why the MSXML solution is not an optimum solution for business. Definitely a worthwhile read for understanding the future of XML, and, I think, a good predictor of why MS might soon lose their monopoly on office productivity.

I thought MS had already "loosed" their monopoly on "o"ffice productivity. ;)
