A classic example...

If you think that all this time i was just "bragging" about closed-source data & MS Office... you were damm wrong!

It happned that i edited my resume in college using MS Office Word 2003. It generated such a format that neither Open Office 1.1.4 nor MS Office 2000 was able to open it. I ultimately had to send my resume in an ASCII format to the consultancy!

What a shame...
Leave apart OpenOffice team (as they are cracking MS's document formats on their own), NOT EVEN MS WORD 2000 was able to open that file! What a shame for MS!

I think, its high time to make these formats "public".
