C/P from ZDNET
Earlier this month, Microsoft won a patent for XML in word processing documents. Microsoft's patent is 'directed at providing a word-processing document in a native XML file format that may be understood by an application that understands XML, or to enable another application or service to create a rich document in XML so that the word-processing application can open it as if it was one of its own documents.'
There will be a big industry uproar about this patent, but see the next post.... |
