Office 2007 formats
I haven’t followed the great format wars over the last year or so – and I must admit that it had slipped out of my consciousness for a bit. Until I saw Mortens post the other day (warning: the link is in danish).
After reading this post my mind spent 5 seconds looping through all the data it has passively consumes over the last year – about formats and stuff. It was hard! For those of you who have seen the movie Butterfly Effect – I image it was like those loop backs…
Well… These days I do a large amount of programming and interaction with the Microsoft Office formats. This means that I do a LOT of COM interfacing from my C# code – and I generally hate it!
The only thing on my mind right now is the possibility of doing XML-only based input/output. And if I am lucky – I can add Open Office support in that process!
