This is a good lesson: the more we encode our history in proprietary formats, the more we stand to lose.

- giancarlostoro 8y agoIndeed, thankfully with projects creating open document formats, Microsoft has added support for such formats to Microsoft Office over the years. Surprised the more open formats have not yet won. I wish Microsoft would just tell the world, okay we're going to work with the open source community to improve these open document formats and make the world a better place. Would be nice to have collections of documents that can just be saved in openly defined formats instead of ".doc" or ".docx" or even a PDF.
