Here's something interesting if you are into Free Software and Statistics (and OOXML of course :)
Allin Cottrell replicated a statistical analysis carried out by people at effi.org (Electronic Frontier Finland), showing significant correlation between the "perceived corruption index" of a country and their support to OOXML. FYI, the original effi.org analysis (http://www.effi.org/blog/kai-2007-09-05.en.html) was done using GNU R ( http://www.r-project.org ), Allin's scripts are for gretl (http://gretl.sf.net), both are Free Software.
