Groklaw donne aussi l'avis de l'ECIS qui est très intéressant :
These steps are in the right direction, but are not nearly enough to achieve genuine interoperability. Moreover, they are clearly the result of determined anti-trust enforcement by the European competition authorities over the past decade and more. A closer look at their substance suggests Microsoft is still playing for time to further consolidate its super-dominant position, and that continued anti-trust vigilance will be necessary.
It is particularly striking that all of Microsoft's latest policy statements on interoperability are still in the future tense, as though these were difficult technical objectives. They are not. Already since several years other major vendors have implemented ODF 1.1 and most either already have or about to move to ODF 1.2. Viewed in this light, Microsoft's new promise to implement ODF 1.1 'in the first half of 2009' is pretty underwhelming.... And that's not the only problem. Current indications are that Microsoft's disclosures for Office document interoperability so far are inadequate in spite of the interoperability principles announced in February. In short, what we seem to have from Microsoft today are incomplete disclosures coupled with statements of future intention to implement earlier versions of open standards. In other words, more delay.
