I mentioned MS because OOXML is now an open standard, albeit a 6000 pages one, but still open. And a similar sized competitor - Google, is still trying to deliver the same functionality.

The point I'm trying to make is that going from zero to hero, even with basically "infinite" money like Google has is very very very hard.
