One Standard

I would like to see a nice data Standard developed by a coalition of corperations cooperating to make the computing world a better place. Not one operating system, but many that can run the same competing office suite programs, the same version of StarCraft and the same version of Doom 3 *look for it this holiday season in a store near you* and read a diskette formatted one way. In a world where some of us jump from a Mac at school to a DOS POS machine at work to a Wintel box at home to the Sony PS2 running linux in the den, there is no certainty that the disk in your pocket will be read by any of the machines during the day. Anyone else like to see that change in the future?
