News Comment All comments on news story: IBM, Google quietly supporting OOXML? It's a reply to comment: Misleading Title by: angryfirelord  Wow, these writers will do anything to get people to read their articles.... When Google and IBM say "support OOXML", they mean implanting docx and such into their office suites. They do not mention, nor want it to be an ISO standard. There's a big difference there. Right on angryfirelord ! by: nycace36  As IBM's Rob Weir writes in the ZDNet Talkback thread entitled 'More word games' --- begin quote --- The word 'support' can mean two different things, right? Support of something can mean, 'to provide technical capabilities for' or support can mean 'to promote the interests or cause of'. In the first sense, at IBM, and Lotus before that, we have a long history of product support for Microsoft's poorly-documented and proprietary formats. But just as our support of DOC, XLS and PPT does not imply endorsement of these formats for standardization, any product capabilities related to OOXML should similarly not be seen as endorsements of these formats.
