The Open Document Format (ODF) was established 20 years ago to promote open file standards in the face of Microsoft Office's nearly total control of the market. Initiated by Sun Microsystems' acquisition of StarOffice, ODF was submitted as a proposal to OASIS in 2002 and officially standardized in 2005. However, Microsoft countered with the Office Open XML formats, which also gained official recognition, thereby ensuring that it maintained its market leadership and limiting ODF's impact on the industry.
It's been 20 years since the Open Document Format (ODF) became a standard, highlighting the challenges in breaking Microsoft's dominance in office applications.
Microsoft responded to the ODF's establishment by developing its own XML-based Office Open XML formats, ensuring its continued dominance in the office file market.
