The only one doing any excluding in this case is Microsoft: they exclude themselves by refusing to implement ODF.

They already support several "open" formats, and are opening their next format up completely royalty free. This is a slight modification of a competitor's format, nothing else.

So Microsoft is excluding itself from Massachusetts over "a slight modification of a competitor's format?"

How moronic of them.

Well, then, all Microsoft needs to do is strip out the modifications. Problem solved.
