I have always been skeptical about MSFT's ability to pull this off, ever since
I read Kurt Cagle's teaser of the Vision to Rule us All. MSFT has hired some
really sharp people in the XML space lately, and there is no doubt that I was
very impressed by what Don Box demoed to me of InfoPath. But I've always been
skeptical that Microsoft has it in their DNA to make the fundamental changes
in outlook required to truly open up XML to their Office users. Even the
slickest UI cannot overcome a mismatch between the interests of a vendor and
its customers, which, I think has become very large recently in the case of MS.
