Will Microsoft fully open their file / document specifications to allow full interoperability for other developers' applications.

Will Microsoft ever adopt proper standards developed by others, such as those used by OpenOffice ? i.e. not "tweaked" to a non-standard "Microsoft only variant" such as the debacle over trying to seize "ownership" of Java ?

With the incredible amount of digital rights restrictions in Vista dragging down system performance by several years, do you feel it is Microsofts' place to force such damaging and limiting technology on customers ?
