Personally I see it as Microsoft trying to push a uniform format for
their information. As a whole, it seems like people are pushing more
and more towards a uniform way to store / transmit pure data (XML,
RSS, etc), and while it's been changing alot quicker on the web. If I
remember correctly, Microsoft recently lost one of the state's office
application bid because they were moving to a standard format for all
their applications, vs the proprietary data format in Office.
