Microsoft has issued an open letter on interoperability in which they criticize IBM for opposing Open XML as an open standard.
In an Ars Technica article, a Microsoft spokesperson has some harsh words for IBM:
“Microsoft has determined that it is important to shine a bright light on IBM’s activities that will have a negative impact on the IT industry and customers, including taking concrete steps to prevent customer choice, engaging in hypocrisy, and working against the industry and against customer needs,” said the spokesperson. “Microsoft will continue to be public in identifying the ways that IBM is trying to prevent customer choice.”
