I think that ODF was designed to be a fully open standard to
give the users back the property of their own data.
No, that's not correct.
ODF was written this it was compatible with the capabilities of the
program OOo.
This is a purely technical issue, and does not mean the ODF would
therefore not
designed open.
But [MS Office] OOXML is not what we could label a real open
format. There are parts that still refer to proprietary bits.
fud, or show me exactly what parts you mean
e.g. the old binary formats has MS disclosed, see:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/office/cc313105(v=office.14).aspx
https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/office/gg615407(v=office.14).aspx
The first version of that document was from 2008. So that's been 8 years
now and counting.
Coincides a bit with my feelings about it. Microsoft was only fiercely
competiting when it was young, mostly also /because/ it was young (and
arrogant, hostile).
Typically it is the mindset of a young adolescent and I know Bill Gates
also had an attitude like that.
