Monopoly and monopoly. When will Microsoft be good? From the forced installation of browsers to the player, we need to change the file unification of international standards organizations. A group of SB has been scrambling for VIP. Think you are amazing. Think about how a programmer in BSD can "kill you ". With the emergence of Ubuntu and other linux Desktop OS and the popularity of OOo, Microsoft will gradually lose its position.
IBM's blue giant was dissatisfied first,
In May September 24, IBM will assess its membership in standards organizations in the technical industry, and may leave some standards organizations, possibly affecting the global compatibility of electronic devices and software systems.
According to IBM officials, IBM is expected to announce the assessment results on Tuesday. Some IBM officials have said that IBM has been very disappointed with the opaque workflows and bad decisions of hundreds of standard organizations. These standards organizations develop various technical standards from data storage systems to programming languages.
Recently, an International Standards Organization's struggle to choose a file format used in the Microsoft Office package as an international standard prompted IBM to make this decision. The Geneva-based International Standards Organization approved Microsoft's open XML format in April this year, winning Microsoft's struggle.
Standards are the key to the technology industry and provide a unified foundation for products of different vendors. Internet standards allow millions of computers to display webpages in the same way. IBM controls a large number of intellectual property rights in the high-tech field. Therefore, IBM's contribution and consent are often very important to establish a standard.
IBM and open-source software organizations supporting collaborative software development said that Microsoft has chosen employees and sympathetic voters to participate in the international committees that form the International Standards Organization. They said that the open XML format is too complex and obscure, and only Microsoft can fully utilize it. Opening XML format as a standard will further consolidate Microsoft's leading position in the field of office file software. IBM supports open document standards that have been approved by international standards organizations.
Bob Sutor, vice president of IBM, said there are many issues with the standard organization in addition to the office documentation field. He said these issues include expensive membership fees, complex intellectual property policies, and non-transparent workflows that impede small businesses from joining standard organizations.
In an interview, Sutor pointed out that, despite IBM's opposition, Ecma International submitted Microsoft's open XML standards to the International Standards Organization for wider approval.
