Infuriating that this isn't the standard everywhere.

Surprised the EU hasn't looked into it, even. The default behaviour to use proprietary MS formats is clearly intended to damage competitors by reducing compatibility.

I'd call that a textbook case of abuse of dominant market position. How is it any different to Google doing crap like preferring their own products in Google searches?
