".....users are asked to transfer content from one format to another â with one of them being both vendor-controlled and proprietary. This is because documents are regarded as a by-product of the application, rather than as information belonging to those who created them.
For Microsoft, therefore, it is perfectly normal for access to content to disappear along with the application."
