I think my friends think I’m insane when I’m ranting about the web and its impact on society. I just read a Wired blog that really summed things up for me and I wanted to make sure I shared it. (watch the videos)
I was also reading up on the new OOXML standard, introduced my M$ and apparently approved by open-source Evangelists. I’m really interested to see how document writing will progress in the future; will documents remain in this “Word” document form? From what I see from word documents, they aren’t much different from this blog that I’m writing now. What’s the point of a Word document? Help me out here. I work closely with business folks in my company and honestly 90% of the functionality of Word just makes things more complicated. It is such a time waster to get the simplest formatting done.
I wish I had some more time to write, but I thought I’d get something out there. Happy aggregating to everyone.
Hey look, a vehicle to attack you through!
You’re wrong about the OOXML, nothing on the Wikipedia site says it was approved, it infact says in Sept. 2007 it was narrowly rejected.
YOU SUCK

OOXML was approved. They tried to fight it but this is the standard. Maybe wikipedia was behind when you read it.
