I read a review of Office 2000 a while ago. They implied that it's not
actually HTML they produce, but HTML with all kinds of kludgy Microsoft
extensions and ActiveX controls which may work if you're running Windows
but will be pretty much useless elsewhere. Given Microsoft's recent
comments about eliminating open standards, this is not surprising.
