[Irtalk] Microsoft will adopt open document standards following government battle | ITProPortal.com

[Hilton Gibson]

Microsoft has confirmed it will start supporting the Open Documents Format
(ODF) in the next update to Office 365, following a lengthy battle against
the UK government.

In 2014, Microsoft went against the government’s request to support ODF,
claiming its own XML format was more heavily adopted. The UK government
refutes the claim, stating that ODF allows users to not be boxed into one
ecosystem.
