Use open formats for saving files.

[Prab]

Microsoft office should be able to use open formats. Specifice examples are
Open Document and the ICal format. This would provide better interoperability
between operating systems and programs. It would also make fewer unexpected
errors when trying to open these file types.

Microsoft already uses iCal. What's your point?
