Apple's QuickTime chief to transform its proprietary Windows Media 9 multimedia software into a standard, according to Macworld UK: "When you are part of a standards organization you don't develop it behind closed doors," Casanova said. The report notes that Microsoft earlier this month submitted its Windows Media 9 a/v codec to the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) for review and ratification of its software as a standard: "Casanova believes Microsoft has not frozen development of its software while waiting for ratification [and is] critical of Microsoft's approach to standards development."
