That is interesting. Good to hear too. I've had a fair bit of
'unofficial commenting' which suggests that OOo's usage is fairly well
engrained in the UK at least. Only serves to make today's 'Yes' vote on
OOXML more bitter a pill to swallow.
Don't worry about it.
This will rumble on for years I think.
Seen Groklaw tonight? Norway have filed an offical objection and
requested a formal investigation.
Microsoft have done themselves and ISO more damage than this was ever
worth. They have already lost the battle as far as I'm concerned, just
keep telling everyone :-)
Also, from Groklaw,
"IT-minister Heidi Grande Røys will not be bound by an eventual
ISO-approval of OOXML.
The government has decided that all government agencies must publish
documents on the internet in one of three formats: The ISO-standards
Open Document Format (ODF), PDF and HTML.
The format Office Open XML (OOXML) is not on the list.
