Microsoft presses on regardless with OOXML SDK

This story is incorrect, according to Microsoft: From Doug Mahugh' Microsoft blog this morning:
"Compliant with the final ISO/IEC spec? Yes, from version 1.0

There's one final detail about the SDK I'd like to clarify, which relates to Gareth Horton's point above about the spec changes accepted at the BRM. When I talked to reporters earlier in the week I wasn't certain about whether we'd have all the final ISO changes in version 1.0 of the SDK, and I was careful to not represent that we would.

Well, I seem to have underestimated our dev team: I've now verified that version 1.0 will definitely be 100% compliant with the final ISO/IEC 29500 spec, including the changes accepted at the BRM. So starting in April you'll be able to build applications that are compliant with the final spec, and in May when we release version 1.0 you'll be able to go live and ship products built on the API. Time to get coding! "; Posted by: easson Posted on: 03/14/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
