Geriatric Microsoft scuppered by file formats

Geriatric Microsoft scuppered by file formats: "Microsoft is perfectly capable of supporting the format, it could do it in a few hours of coding time, and probably has already, but it will never get out. The reason is simple. If it does, it will mean the utter loss of control over almost all of computing, and it will never be able to twist arms again.

Microsoft is a bully, plain and simple. It has more programmers than anyone else, and always had the option of doing the right thing for the right reason, but for some unfathomable reason, never did. It preferred to hold your feet to the fire, and force you to do what it said."
