Idag har Novell ifølge Computerworld.com frigivet en OOXML oversætter til OpenOffice. Det kommer blot 1 måned efter at 3 partnere med støtte fra Microsoft frigav en oversætter mellem OOXML og ODF til Microsoft Office.

Brian Jones, som er Program Manager i Microsoft Office filformat gruppen udtaler bl.a på sin blog følgende:

"I think at this point we can really move onto more productive and collaborative discussion and admit that we are no longer in any sort of "file format war." If we ever were really in a war, it's now over, and both sides are winners. Over the past few years, we've had two important file formats come into the market, OpenXML and ODF. Both were designed for different purposes, and both have been valuable additions to the market. Now we can also say that we have multiple implementations of both formats."

Jeg er helt enig, og tak til Novell for OOXML oversætteren. Jeg synes at det vidner om at OOXML er ganske enkelt at gå til.

En god dag :-)
