So a more appropriate title could be 'Microsoft's Office embarassment' ? Or not?

- rbanffy 16y agoI think MS Office Open XML and MS Office are pretty much very related. Nobody would implement that standard if it weren't for Microsoft pushing it. And the title implies that, apart from MS Office Open XML, Office is not embarrassing. One may disagree with that implication, but the title is more specific.
- recoiledsnake 16y agoThere is a big difference between a file format and the program that makes use of it(even though they are related and even if the same entity developed both) that you're failing to grasp in multiple comments.
- rbanffy 16y agoIf you read the title carefully, you may also interpret as Microsoft's Open XML embarrassment. Since I am unaware of other Microsoft products that implement the standard, I see no problem with the title. It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing to Microsoft and it's about MS Office Open XML.
