Recent news from Microsoft: the software giant has released a plug-in for Firefox, the most popular open source browser, to view Open XML documents. The company claims that with its new Open XML Document Viewer operating within Firefox browser you can easily view documents without local installation of MS Office. The viewer will greatly improve translations between OXML and HTML formats providing direct interoperability. “Achieving interoperability between document formats requires the IT community coming together to test implementations and develop tools to promote interoperability over time,” said Microsoft interoperability manger Jean Paoli. Microsoft has also introduced a software development kit for Java developers working with OXML documents.
