Most corporate mergers aremeasured in quarters, or evenyears. But for Sun Microsystems,its US$1 billion purchase ofMySQL AB on Jan. 23 has beenmeasured in days. On Feb. 26,that acquisition was declaredcomplete just five weeks after it

was announced.On a conference call revealing

the news, Sun CEO JonathanSchwartz said that the MySQLpurchase was the companys mostimportant acquisition ever.

The backing of Suns globalsupport and services organiza-tion removes what had been thesingle biggest impediment to thegrowth of MySQL, saidSchwartz on the call. We wel-come the MySQL employees tothe Sun team. I am especiallypleased that Marten Mickos willbe joining my executive team.

Mickos, formerly CEO ofMySQL, becomes a senior vicepresident in Suns software divi-sion. He will answer to RichGreen, who heads that division

In the wake of mounting pressurefrom European antitrust regula-tors, Microsoft has pledged to dothe unthinkable: It will publishdocumentation for APIs and Win-dows client and server protocols,for which it once fought tooth-and-nail to hold as trade secrets.

Microsofts decision to divulgehow its products can be more eas-ily used with third-party solutionsis driven by four self-describedinteroperability principles that

the company announced lastmonth.

In the four principles, thecompany vows to ensure openconnections, promote data porta-bility, enhance support for indus-

try standards, and more openlyengage its customers and theindustry, including open-sourcecommunities.

The interoperability principlesapply to high-volume businessproducts, including ExchangeServer 2007, Office 2007, OfficeSharePoint Server 2007, SQLServer 2008, Windows Server2008, Windows Vista (includingthe .NET Framework) and allfuture editions of those products.

Microsoft will implement

those principles by making theAPI documentation available todevelopers on the Web, license-and royalty-free. The processbegan last month when it dumped


It was supposed to be a tri-umphant day for Microsoft. ItsHeroes Happen Here gala inLos Angeles was to celebrate thearrival of a wave of key products,including Visual Studio and Win-dows Server. But the main topicat the party more likely was the

way the European Union levied arecord-setting 899 million(US$1.3 billion) fine against thesoftware behemoth.

EU regulators are penalizingMicrosoft for charging what itcalled unreasonable prices tosoftware developers for access toinformation on Windows clientand server protocols, prior toOct. 22, 2007.

The sanctions stem from theEUs 2004 antitrust rulingagainst the company, which wasupheld in September 2007 bythe European Court of FirstInstance in Luxembourg, theEUs second-highest court. TheEuropean Commission, theenforcement arm of the EU, ini-tially fined Microsoft 497 mil-lion ($613 million) in 2004, fol-lowed by an additional 280.5million ($357 million) in July2006. The cumulative finesamount to nearly $2.3 billion.

CollabNet has rolled out the newest ver-sion of CUBiT, offering new deploymentoptions and putting the finishing touchon the softwares integration withSourceForge.

CUBiT is CollabNets build, integra-tion and testing software, which is aimedat simplifying software developmentthrough real-time creation and manage-ment of build-and-test environments forglobally distributed teams.

One of the main enhancements inCUBiT 1.5, announced in early March,is the ability to do mixed-mode deploy-ment, which allows customers to carry

out test releases. Mixed-mode deploy-ment chunks infrastructure so it can beused for various needs, company execu-tives said, including development, test-ing and QA, staging and production.

Nick Bonfiglio, CollabNets vice pres-

ident of worldwide operations, saidCUBiT had been primarily focused onthe build and test arena, but customers

were asking to use CUBiT for produc-tion purposes.

He explained that it could actuallysupport some light production andallow a company to move a product fromdevelopment into production use.

Im not saying were going to bemanaging production infrastructure

with CUBiT, said Bonfiglio, but weredefinitely moving closer toin asenseclosing the life cycle.

CUBiT 1.5 can offer these produc-tion capabilities with version control

profiles that can be tagged for produc-tion, development or test stages, Bon-figlio said. This helps the user visualizethe software stack and centrally manageeach stage, while providing an easy wayfor developers to re-create a productionenvironment.

CONNECTING WITH SOURCEFORGE

Additionally, CUBiT 1.5 delivers anintegration with the SourceForge col-laborative development platform. Thisintegration was announced shortly afterCollabNet had purchased the Source-

Forge Enterprise Edition (SFEE) soft-ware from VA Software in April of lastyear, and it comes to fruition in thisrelease.

CUBiT 1.5. includes project-trackerand issue-tracker connectors for the

Mylyn 2.0 open-source plug-in, enablingany developer to work with his tracking

repository form within the Eclipsspace, the company said. MylyCUBiTs tracker connector, can issues stored in CollabNet EnEdition or SFEE from within E

Replay Solutions is pressing rewind onenterprise applications, effectively cre-ating a TiVo for the QA department.This spring, the company will release

Replay Team Edition, which recordsand plays back software events.Replay Solutions has been concen-

trating on video game consoles since thecompanys inception in 2004, said CEOJonathan Lindo. After refining the prod-ucts features, Replay Solutions haspoured them into a version that targetsenterprise Java developers.

Behind the scenes, Replay Team Edi-tion takes a different approach toreplayable event-monitoring than itsrivals do. Among those competitors is

VMWare, which introduced a productbased on its virtualization platform thatalso records and replays software events.

But Replay is different. Convention-ally, he explained, computers are consid-ered deterministic, even though thatsnot truly the case. What makes theirbehavior non-deterministic is random

sources of input, and random eventssuch as I/O, keyboard and mouse input.Or it can be because of things like thescheduler or the memory managersinterrupts and callbacks. All those things

can introduce non-determinism. If youcan control all those elements, we canplace that application into a determinis-tic state again, and guarantee the exactpath of execution.

BE KIND, REWIND

This focus on deterministic actionsallows the company to assert that ReplayTeam Enterprise can save hours ofapplication activity without requiringmassive storage space. Replays solutionallows for a faster monitoring hook as

well, Lindo added.The software can also be used against

live systems, where it can be loaded andimplemented with only a 1 to 3 percentperformance hit, noted Lindo. Includedis an Eclipse plug-in that allows record-ed sessions to be played back step bystep with a debugger attached. As a

result, developers are able to see exactlywhich line of code is being triggered ateach step.

Replay Team Edition, available now,is priced at approximately US$35,000

for 10 users. A free version is that can record and play back not be able to export and sharrecordings with others. For mormation, visit www.replaysolution

The ReplayDIRECTOR Web interface allows users to see all the recorded events and inter

play them back, export them and open in Eclipse, where a debugger can be attached.

IBM has unleashed the Systemz10 mainframe, which the com-pany called its highest-capacitySystem z ever.

System z10, introduced Feb.26, is the approximate equivalentof 1,500 x86 servers, IBM said,

with up to 85 percent less cost inenergy and floor space than thecommodity boxes.

But thats not the only brag-ging point for the company,

which says that the z10 is 50percent faster than its prede-cessor, the z9. The new main-frame can run workloads inJava, Linux, WebSphere and

XML containers.As part of the System z10

launch, IBM released toolsfocused on helping developersand project managers more eas-ily manage their mainframes,and to help automate the devel-opment and deployment ofmainframe applications.

The System z modernizationclosely parallels the effort madeby IBM to overhaul System i,

which itself bore first fruit in lateJanuary. In both cases, notedScott Searle, IBM Rationalsenterprise modernization mar-keting programs director, thegoal was to move away from the

WebSphere Development Stu-dio Client because customers

were finding that platform tohave limited third-party support.

These enterprise modern-ization products were running inplace on WebSphere, Searle

said. We expect these things togrow in 2008. Historically, Ratio-nal hasnt focused on the Systemz customers, and we think theresgreat potential to take coreRational products to System zcustomers.

Z TRAINING

To assist developers in modern-izing their mainframes, IBMreleased five resources andtraining pieces as part of the z10rollout. The first, System z forISV, provides independent soft-

ware vendors with training pro-grams and technical resources,such as System z seminars andthe updated hardware throughIBMs Virtual Loaner Program.

The Destination z Web siteis a new place for softwaredevelopers to network and gen-erate new ideas for the Systemz platform. For the collegecrowd, the Academic Initiativefor System z is a new programfor helping colleges and univer-sities develop mainframe-cen-tered coursework.

Other new resources fordevelopers and users include theSystem z Sandbox, an area onthe IBM developerWorks Website where customers can try

Rational-branded mainframesoftware before buying it, andthree new System z StarterPackskits designed to helpclients update their IT systems. T

When the original Java BusinessIntegration 1.0 was released,some developers mistook it foran enterprise services bus. Now,the specification leads of JBI 2.0

are working on ways to betterintegrate Web services in a Javaworld, and hoping that this timedevelopers get the right impres-sion of what the software can do.

Peter Walker and Ron Ten-Hove, co-specification leads onJSR 312the expert groupbehind JBIand engineers atSun Microsystems, hope toinvert their development andcreation process for JBI 2.0:Though version 1.0 began with aspecification and ended with areference implementation, theyhope version 2.0 will reverse it.

This time, the engineers arealso aware of the mistakes made

with the presentation of JBI 1.0in 2005 by what was the JSR 208expert group. When we firstreleased the specification, said

Walker, we knew in our ownminds it was positioned as a sortof augmentation to existingenterprise infrastructure. But alot of people took it to be a spec-ification for ESBs. That set us offa little bit on the wrong track. IfI was writing an ESB, Id useJSB as its heart, but its technolo-gy that really just deals with amodel of mediated message

exchange. When we introducedit, a lot of people were lookingfor an API, and there really isntone in JBI because its a middle-

ware specification.

BEYOND SIMPLICITY

Ten-Hove said that JBI 1.0 wasas much about what was miss-ing as what was there. This timearound, many of the ideas theyinitially ignored in favor of sim-plicity may be addressed.

One [idea] we left out forsimplicity was interceptors: thenotion of having some sort of

pluggable piece that can inter-cept message exchanges, saidTen-Hove. They can be usedas debugging aids, or to buildcertain kinds of applicationenhancements like retry logic.

Now that JBI is more gener-ally understood and supportedin open-source projects such asApache Service Mix, Ten-Hoveand Walker think that the timeis right to bring interceptorsinto JBI 2.0.

Another aspect of JBI that

will be reworked is how the sys-tem deals with non-XML data.JBI had been able to handle suchdata, but only in a generalized

way. The spec may call for more

specific methods of handlingnon-XML data, said Walker.

JBI will also likely see its firstAPI in version 2.0, as well.

JBI 2.0 is slated to be com-

pleted in the second quarter.At the moment, were lookingat the scope and seeing exactlyhow much we can bite off,said Walker. T

The Mashup Madness com-petition is under way, and itleverages the Sports NetworkNCAA Web service, an API thatprovides real-time NCAA tour-nament and regular-season bas-ketball data. According toStrikeIron, the service can bringin scores with a 60-second delayand give updated information

on player statistics, standings,injuries and betting odds.

The data is delivered in anXML format that can integrateinto widgets, gadgets, Web appli-cations and enterprise mashups,said Robin Griffin, StrikeIrons

vice president of marketing.StrikeIron services can be easilyintegrated with all major mashupplatforms, as well as directly intoany application or Web site.

Griffin said that ad-generat-ed widgets could be made forteams, the Web service could bemashed up with Google Calen-dar to create a conferencescheduler, or mobile alertsmight be created for teams bycombining the service with

short-message service alerts.Griffin said that there have

been several entries, but thecontest is expected to pick upafter the code has been devel-oped and the mashups tested.

The competition will rununtil March 31, and winners willbe announced April 7. Thechampionship game will be onthe same date in San Antonio.Executives of The Sports Net-

to work with processes that donot fit well into software devel-opment life-cycle stages.

The server, which Urban-code rolled out March 3, usestechnology similar to the com-panys AnthillPro continuousintegration build and depen-dency management software.In fact, Urbancode presidentMaciej Zawadzki called theAutomation Server a stripped-down version of AnthillPro.

The new server, which car-ries out processes with distrib-uted agents to provide automa-tion, has a Web interface thatdoesnt require XML file editingor scripting, the company said.

The interface provides adrill-down view of steps and logfiles, while a Web services APIoffers a flexible execution ofprocesses.

The Dojo Foundation is tryingto kill an old wives tale aboutJavaScript: Accessibility andfunctionality are mutually ex-clusive.

This month, the foundationis scheduled to release version

1.1 of its toolkit, which willinclude new 2D animation sup-port, the ability to work withthe Python-based Django Webframework and the fruits of alengthy and complex move tosupport the W3Cs new Acces-sible Rich Internet Applications(ARIA) specification.

ARIA began life as theDynamic HTML (DHTML)accessibility spec inside the

W3C. Now, as the specificationheads toward a final draft, thefoundation is preparing to reapthe rewards of its participation inthe project.

Alex Russell, the projectlead for the Dojo Foundation,said that the toolkit has acted asthe vanguard for the ARIAstandard.

The story has always beenthat you cant do accessibleDHTML, Russell said. Thanksto a grant from Mozilla and fromIBM, and work from TorontosAdaptive Technology ResourceCenter, weve been able toimplement Dojo as a testbed ofthe ARIA spec. It works, andthats good for everyone.

BIGGER FISH TO FRY

The W3C and its myriad collab-orators have laid out an extensiveroadmap for ARIA. Along withDojo, many accessibility toolsare being updated to conform tothe new standard. Screen read-ers such as Jaws from FreedomScientific and GW Micros Win-dow-Eyes will include newhooks to handle ARIA-compliantbrowsers and sites. Mozilla Fire-fox is also getting some addition-al functionality out of the deal.

The ARIA specification laysout some new guidelines for

middleware as well. One callsfor sites to support XML eventdescriptions. That would allowa blind user to hear a descrip-tion of what would happen

when a certain interface ele-ment is triggered: An onlinestore would explain that anorder would be purchased andpaid for if the mouse hoversover the Buy button.

Russell is upbeat about thecurrent state of browser com-patibility.

Its getting a lot better. Istarted doing DHTML in 2000.Back then, we literally had twoseparate [applications]: one forthe Netscape world, and onefor Internet Explorer world. Inthe meantime, things have got-

ten a lot better. That means weand our users are pushing theedge to new places, he noted.

As for JavaScript itself, Rus-sell has some simple advice fordevelopers who are moving intothe DHTML world for the first

time. The first practice is torespect a language. Its not atoy, Russell pointed out. Its apowerful language. Its got clo-sure; its got object orientation.Its not bad object orientation,but it is its own style. Beyond

that, you need some ssome backbone to helpture the stuff.

That structure is wfree Dojo toolkit was mprovide. It can be foundat www.dojotoolkit.org.

With .NET Framework 3.5 out the door,Microsoft is working to dispel the short-comings that some developers havefound.

An update slated for this summer will

improve its installer, cold start-up timesand the performance of WPF applica-tions, the company said. Scott Guthrie,corporate vice president in the Develop-er Division, laid out the specifics in aFeb. 19 blog posting.

One lingering problem has been theframeworks installer. Guthrie acknowl-edged that developers have been askingMicrosoft for years to streamline the.NET Frameworks installation and set-up. Now, the company will respond bymaking it easier for developers to buildoptimized setup packages. Anotherattempt at streamlining comes in reduc-ing the payload of .NET Framework 3.5packages to a minimal set.

For instance, if a user already has.NET Framework 2.0 installed on hismachine, the setup will download andupgrade the bits necessary to update to.NET 3.5, and will not re-download anycomponents already present, Guthrieexplained.

Billy Hollis, an author and Microsoft

regional directorone of a number ofvolunteers recognized by MicrosoftsDeveloper Platform evangelism groupfor technical expertisesaid thatstreamlining the client install of the.NET Framework is helpful because it

currently takes too long for a casualinstallation.Hollis added that .NET Framework

3.5 was quite large, at well over 100MB,because it includes all versions starting

with 2.0. By comparison, the Java SE 6runtime environment for Windows isslightly over 15 MB.

Chris Menegay, a principal consul-tant for Notion Solutions and anotherMicrosoft regional director, noted thatthe .NET Framework is often orders ofmagnitude larger than the actual appli-cation being installed. And, if whatGuthrie is saying holds true, install time

will drop dramatically.The new setup framework will work

with other installation frameworks, suchas Macrovisions InstallShield, and willbe more t ightly coupled with MicrosoftsClickOnce and Windows Installer tools.

SNAPPING TO IT

After applications are installed, .NETsCommon Language Runtime (CLR)

dictates how well they will perform.Microsoft intends to optimize CLR datastructures to reduce disk I/O operationsand improve memory layout when load-ing and running applications.

Guthrie predicted that with those

changes, .NET 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 applica-tions would realize a cold-start perfor-mance improvement of 25 to 40 percent,contingent on application size. Applica-tions will not require recoding or recom-pilation in Visual Studio to take advan-tage of the potential performanceimprovements.

Windows Presentation Foundation(WPF) will also get a face-lift. A serviceupdate to WCF will optimize the perfor-mance of its text, graphics, media anddata stack (see box above).

The APIs will remain unchangedagain, no code changes will be necessary,Guthrie said. A new WriteableBitmapAPI is being added to enable real-timebitmap updates from a software surface.

Microsoft will release new controlsfor WPF later this year at an unspecifieddate. Those include Calendar/DatePick-er, DataGrid and Ribbon controls.

The improvements to the WPF con-trol set are pretty significant, Hollissaid. I personally dont use data grids

much in user interface design,know of others who have avoidedprimarily because it lacks a built-grid. Its also hard to build a cobusiness application on WPF wdate controls, as I found out wbegan building them last year.

A service update to Visual 2008 is expected to enhance itsdesigner. This will include evesupport within the property grid fotrol events, toolbox support source mode, and other miscellfeatures customers have requaccording to Guthrie. Visual Studiand the .NET 3.5 Framework bgenerally available in November.

.NET 3.5 Refresh Due Out This SummerUpdate includes a streamlined installer and WPF performance tweaks

Container recycling and data valization support will be rewor

to enhance data scalability.

DropShadow and Blur bitmapeffects are being moved from

software to hardware renderin

Faster text performance hasbeen sought in Visual and

DrawingBrush scenarios.

Various media and video perfomance tweaks are in the work

Application start-up times willbe shortened by reducing I/O a

optimizing memory use.

said. If the EC and EU are so interestedin relief for supposedly downtroddenusers, where are all of the millions theywant to collect from Microsoft going?Let the punishment fit the crime. Theyare being spiteful.

The court had ordered the companyto supply its competitors with the inter-operability information, but now saysthat the royalty rates Microsoft charged

were unjustifiably high. The initial ratesMicrosoft demanded were 3.87 percentof a licensees product revenues for apatent license and 2.98 percent for ac-cess to interoperability information.

Last May, those rates were loweredto 0.7 percent and 0.5 percent, respec-tively, for European customers; world-

wide rates remained unchanged.Microsoft later made interoperabilityinformation available for a flat fee onOct. 22, and began publishing some of itoutright last month.

Microsoft was the first company in50 years of EU competition policy thatthe Commission has had to fine for fail-ure to comply with an antitrust deci-

sion, said European Competition Com-missioner Neelie Kroes in a preparedstatement. I hope that todays [Feb. 27]decision closes a dark chapter inMicrosofts record of non-compliance

with the Commissions March 2004 deci-sion and that the principles confirmedby the Court of First Instance ruling ofSeptember 2007 will govern Microsoftsfuture conduct.

In what could be perceived as a last-

minute bid for clemency, Microsoftannounced a major interoperability ini-tiative in February. It declared that it

would publish the documentation forthe APIs of its high-volume products,including Exchange Server 2007, Office2007, Office SharePoint Server 2007,SQL Server 2008, Windows Server2008, Windows Vista (including the.NET Framework) and all future edi-tions of those products.

The official launch event for those productsSQL Server

Visual Studio 2008 and Window2008was held last month. WServer and Visual Studio were available through MSDN; SQL

will not be generally available un

this year.Access to the interoperabilitmation is free, but implementprotocols is another matter, sinremain Microsofts intellectual pMicrosoft also said that it will nolicenses to all relevant patents and non-discriminatory rates.

A Microsoft spokesperson sthe company was reviewing thepean Commissions actions andtained that it was in full complianthe 2004 issues, adding that the fabout past issues that it believbeen resolved.

As we demonstrated last weour new interoperability principspecific actions to increase the oof our products, we are trying ton steps that will improve thingsfuture, the spokesperson added

more than 30,000 pages of documentationfor its Windows client and server proto-cols onto the Microsoft Developer Net-

work Web site.The company said that protocol doc-

umentation for additional products,

including Office 2007, would be pub-lished in the coming months.

Access to information about the net-working protocols was previouslyrestricted by a trade secret licenseunder one of two schemes: theMicrosoft Work Group Server ProtocolProgram and the Microsoft Communi-cation Protocol Program.

Microsoft was forced to make theprotocol documentation available tocompetitors under these schemes afterthe European Unions Court of FirstInstances ruled in September 2007against Microsofts appeal of the 2004decision by the European

Commission that foundthe company guilty ofanticompetitive behavior.

In January, anemboldened EuropeanCommission decided toinitiate two antitrustinvestigations againstMicrosoft, brought on bycomplaints from theEuropean Committee forInteroperable Systems, acoalition of Microsoftrivals, and Opera Soft-

ware, a browser maker. The complaintsaccused Microsoft of infringements ofthe rules on abuse of a dominant marketposition, as set forth in Article 82 of theTreaty establishing the European Com-munity, originally Article 86 of the 1957Treaty of Rome.

Last month, the Commission issued astatement acknowledging Microsoftsintention to promote interoperability inits high-volume products, but pointedout that the companys announcement

was unrelated to the question ofwhether the company has been comply-ing with EU antitrust rules in interoper-ability in the past, or whether it was justpaying lip service to interoperability.

The Commission, read the state-ment, would welcome any move towardgenuine interoperability. Nonetheless,the Commission notes that [the] an-nouncement follows at least four similar

statements by Microsoft

in the past on the impor-tance of interoperabili-ty. The statement alsomade clear that its inves-tigations would continueregardless of Microsoftsannouncement.

These steps repre-sent an important stepand significant change inhow we share informa-tion about our productsand technologies, saidMicrosoft CEO Steve

Ballmer in a prepared statement. Forthe past 33 years, we have shared a lot ofinformation with hundreds of thousandsof partners around the world and helpedbuild the industry, but todays announce-ment represents a significant expansiontoward even greater transparency. Our

goal is to promote greater interoperabili-ty, opportunity and choice for customersand developers throughout the industryby making our products more open andby sharing even more information aboutour technologies.

Over the years, Microsoft accumulatedvast portfolios of patents in gaining itsdominant market position. The companysaid it will indicate on its Web site whichprotocols are subject to Microsoft patents,and will license those patents on reason-able and non-discriminatory terms.

The company has extended an olivebranch, in the form of a covenant notto sue, to open-source developers that

distribute non-commercial softwarebased upon Microsoft protocols. Com-panies that distribute software for prof-it will be required to obtain a patentlicense from Microsoft, but enterprisesusing those solutions will not requiresuch a license.

Another step Microsoft announced byway of adhering to the interoperabilityprinciples is documenting how the com-pany supports industry standards, and

working with other implementers of aparticular standard to ensure that imple-mentations are consistent across products.

In a bid for transparency, Mwill stipulate when it has extenddards with proprietary extensiocompany pledged to provide supdocumentation for the extensions

In a meeting that will influence theadoption of OOXML and future devel-opment of Microsoft Office, nationalstandards bodies convened in Genevalast month. They hoped to reach con-sensus on what modifications should be

made to the Office Open XML(OOXML) specification before it isresubmitted to ISO for another vote.

The company began lobbying in late2005 to have its XML-based documentformats approved as ISO standards.Though Ecma International passedOOXML virtually without comment, theresponse from ISO participants has beenlukewarm. In September, Microsoft failedto attract support from enough ISO mem-ber nations to permit the fast-trackapproval of OOXML as an ISO standard.

Since then, Microsoft has pushedinteroperability, taking steps to placatedissenting members, including makingdocumentation about its binary Officeformats more accessible to developers.

Ecma International will play a promi-nent role in the ISO meeting. Its Tech-nical Committee 45, the group steeringOpen XML through ISO, was tasked

with addressing comments made by ISOmembers that took part in reviewing the

specification and will revise OOXMLbased on the feedback.

ISO will vote on OOXML again thismonth if the Geneva meeting producesa consensus on changes.

The topic of format change is often abuzz-kill in document archiving circles.

Microsoft has acknowledged thatOOXML will evolve, and that evolutionmay require the company to modify theOffice formats again.

Burton Group research director andvice president Guy Creese said enterpris-es must decide whether to wait for theOOXML standard to mature or to imple-ment it now. But he said they could beginusing it today to gain the benefits of usingan XML format over binary.

Perhaps foremost of those benefits,according to analyst Michael Cherry

with research firm Directions onMicrosoft, is that XML has a more easi-ly parsed format and is more readable.

This is similar, Creese wrote in an e-mail, to asking, Should I use [OpenDocument Format] now, or wait forODF 1.2? Its always a judgment call, but

waiting for significant maturity means notbeing able to take advantage of the stan-dard in the meantime, and we think the

XML file format standards (whether

ODF or OOXML) offer significant bene-fits over the binary file formats.

Jean Paoli, general manager of inter-operability and XML architecture atMicrosoft, admitted that even the com-pany would be in the dark as to the finalcontents specification, until the entire

ISO process is completed. Microsoft iscommitted to making changes to theOffice family over time to reflectchanges in the OOXML format, he said.

IDC vice president Melissa Webstersaid enterprise buyers are motivated bythe need to support legacy file formatsnot by the strengths or weaknesses of theunderlying document format.

Customers today are buying Office2007 the product suitenot OOXML theformat, she explained in an e-mail.Theres a high level of trust thatMicrosoft will ensure backward compati-bility for legacy docs. I would be surprisedif Microsoft backed off that promise.

Paoli said that hundreds of ISVs haveimplemented OOXML, including Inteland Novell, adding that this acceptancedemonstrates that the specification ismanageable and widely supported.

He also asserted that OOXML hascross-platform appeal, citing the work ofLinux vendors, including Novell, toward

enabling document interoperbetween OOXML and Open DocFormat as an example.

That said, Microsoft is still wtoward internal interoperabilitydows-based users with Office 20and 2003 got a stable set of convtools in November. Even after redelays, Microsoft has yet to deliOffice Open XML file format cofor Mac Office 2004. In a Feb. 2
