Competing Microsoft
Sadly, the Microsoft failed to get its Office Open XML formats certified in the ISO standards through its accelerated process earlier this month. Last Monday, the European Commission ruled in favor of all the regulators in an antitrust case that could change how the Microsoft does business in Europe. The Microsoft has shown some signs of reacting to the full-court press it’s seeing from competitors. Last week, it made a version of its own Office suite available to students for $60.

A Microsoft spokesman on Tuesday said that the Office meets its customers’ needs because their company continues to invest in it.
