Three weeks ago, the European Commission signaled its approval of Microsoft’s revised plan for a more vendor-neutral Web browser selection screen for European Windows users. But that revised plan was buffered with a big bonus: a promise to supply the general public with a wealth of interoperability information, including about proprietary formats.

Among the most sought after formats on that list has been for Outlook Personal Folders — the much-maligned .PST file format, whose lack of comprehension has been the pet peeve of certainly every developer who’s ever worked on a calendar or smartphone synchronization utility. Now the manager for Microsoft’s new Office Interoperability Group announced this morning that work is under way on public documentation for the file format.

MS letting go a little more to the many proprietary file formats.
