OpenOffice.org dismisses pro-OOXML report
OpenOffice.org has dismissed an analyst report from Burton Group which claims that Microsoft's Office Open XML document format is preferable to the OpenDocument Format.
Speaking to ZDNet.co.uk on Wednesday, OpenOffice.org's marketing lead for Europe, John McCreesh, questioned the Burton Group report's value, claiming it "contained no new research and was just the result of some analyst sitting down and speculating".
"It's interesting compared with the Becta report that came out last week," said McCreesh, referring to a report by the UK's educational technology agency which warned schools against deploying Windows Vista and Office 2007. "Becta commissioned independent research and came to a completely different conclusion. [The Burton Group report] says more about the author's personal prejudices than any objective, research-based conclusions."
