New Last I heard,
Office 11 will read XML pretty well, but won't really write it effectively. That capability was disabled to protect the current monopoly and is reserved for a "future version of Office".

New Just curious...
Was that meant as a joke, or serious?

Oh, and I wouldn't be surprised IF they go ahead and use XML as the new save format by default as well - but then encrypt it with a proprietary compression scheme copyrighted by M$ and protected under the DMCA.

All saving in the XML format means is removing the compression and encryption. "Hey, you can save in the standard format, but our format is so much smaller!"

That, plus it still won't solve the issue of ActiveX components being included with documents...
End of world rescheduled for day after tomorrow. Something should probably be done. Please advise.
