Microsoft wants OXML so they will know the inner workings of everyone elses programs.

The results show that 51 ISO members, representing 74 percent of all qualified votes, stated their support for ratification of Open XML.

Of course they did -- you paid and threatened them to vote for it.

I’m not knowledgable enough to make an informed decision on this one.

I do know, on one hand, I’m for free market. On the other hand, I’m for fair market.

I guess that means Microsoft loses. LOL

Without any regard to the quality, etc., of OOXML I hope this fails miserably. Otherwise we might see the same on my ISO committee.
