    Which is rich considering they reverse-engineered MS Office formats to get their office suite to work

        AFAIK only the “new” formats are (for the basic apps, the ones ending on x). Apple’s office suite is much older than those.

      I think most if not all of those formats are plaintext? Open a .doc and it’s a heap of garbage XML-like soup.

        It is now but the older formats used to be more like an executable byte code. Efficient but insecure.
