Microsoft spent two decades penetrating 90% of the market with their proprietary closed formats. Now that they see little to no competition, they decided to come up with "open" formats because they are so nice. Oh, and anyone who doesn't follow suit, now that they decided to do it, is a bad company.
Pfff, kind of hypocrytical on their part. Also, as someone stated, OpenOffice does not make money for Sun. Microsoft, on the other hand, charges $250+ for their office system. So why can't Adobe get a portion of that income for their technology?
Oh, and the lawsuit is a speculation by Microsoft. Adobe has not stated anything. Everything is speculation, no one really knows why it broke down and on what terms and what will happen.
I like Windows. I like .NET. I like Visual Studio. But I hate their business practice sometimes.
