stm2 writes "Joel on Software has published Why are the Microsoft Office file formats so complicated? (And some workarounds) where he analyzes the just launched Microsoft Office binary file format. At first glance, "a normal programmer would conclude that Office's binary file formats:

  • are deliberately obfuscated
  • are the product of a demented Borg mind
  • were created by insanely bad programmers
  • and are impossible to read or create correctly.
" But the article goes on debunking this concepts and gives us (programmers who has to deal with these filles) some workarounds."
