It’s a rather pathetic state of affairs when Microsoft will end up implementing the vision of the OpenOffice bibliographic project (of which I am co-project lead) before OOo!

Agreed. And in no way does it surprise me.

What does surprise me (a little) is to hear this from Bruce, who then follows up with:

So those that are thinking that ODF will save the day are deluding themselves. Open standards are important, even critical, but they are no magic bullet. And Microsoft’s ECMA submission fundamentally changes the game here, and I have every belief that ISO will also approve it.

You know, I already have enough reasons to have massive amounts of respect for Bruce.

Now I have one more.

I would encourage you to visit the above linked entry. He’s got quite a bit more to say on the matter, and its most definitely worth your time to listen.

Thanks Bruce!
