“Microsoft Office 2000 hits stores Thursday, loaded with
Internet features. But Web-standards advocates are already
concerned about its potential for fracturing the Web.”
“With more than a 90 percent share of the desktop market, the
Office suite is extending and embracing the Web in a big way.”
“At issue is Microsoft’s co-mingling of existing Web standards
with the proprietary data of Office 2000’s native file formats —
such as *.doc and *.xls — and concerns about tie-ins with other
products.”
