"Why OpenDocument Won (and Microsoft Office Open XML Didn't)"
http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/why-opendocument-won.html
by David Wheeler
from Wheeler...
"...if they don’t hurry, Microsoft could conceivably find their Office
suite slowly moving into the dumpster with WordStar, VisiCalc, Lotus
1-2-3, dBase, and other former office leaders. That would be
mind-boggling, but it’s occurred many times before -- who would have
thought that any of those predecessors would stumble? I don’t think
that’ll happen in this case, at least not so quickly, but it’s
certainly a risk unless Microsoft changes direction. That would be
horrific for them; Office is 40% of their revenue, and one of the
primary reasons people use their operating system (which accounts for
most of the rest of their non-investment income)."
