The Document Foundation says #Microsoft's file formats keep users on a short leash #OOXML may carry an ISO certificate, but only #MicrosoftOffice can be trusted to render it properly "The practical effect is that the format used daily by hundreds of millions of people is the one that only Microsoft's own software implements correctly, whilst the cleaner variant – which other software could actually support – is not used, and has now even disappeared from some versions." https://www.theregister.com/applications/2026/07/20/the-document-foundation-says-microsofts-file-formats-keep-users-on-a-short-leash/5274960
