Technology Review: Industry Challenges: The Standards Question
"Mike Evans, vice president of corporate development at the open-source technology provider Red Hat, compares clouds today to the earliest online communities, such as CompuServe and America Online. "They were all siloed communities," he says. "You couldn't necessarily inter­operate with anybody else until the openness of the Internet came along." Evans believes that open-source projects are "critical" to establishing standards that would encourage more companies to use cloud technology.

When standards ain't standards - Perspectives - Opinion - Technology
"It's a shame, really. Microsoft Office 2007 is a fabulous piece of work, but few people are using it, partly because of the new file format. OOXML works well, but things would have been much better had Microsoft adopted ODF."
