Traditional software is like witchcraft. In history, witchcraft just died out.
The same will happen in software. When problems get serious enough, you can't
have one person or one company guarding their secrets.
You have to have everybody share in knowledge.

In my experience MS Office 'standards' don't escalate well, neither with MS
products. Thus my clients have migrated their Office solutions.
For me, naming 'standards' and Microsoft in the same phrase is a self-evident
contradiction.
--- Mario Garcia. H, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
It makes no sense to have two standards, and even less if one of them is
Microsoft's standard.
--- Raquel Lopez, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
I strongly agree with the petition, standard should not ever support vendor
lock-in.
--- Yantisa Akhadi, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
We don't need any more Microsoft monopoly, with bad software but big money, so
great diffusion. Stop supporting Microsoft, say "no" to OpenXML and stop buying
Microsoft products!
---Daniele Savi, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
Microsoft is no longer the standard!
--- Brian Musson, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
The last thing we need is to have a company establishing standards when its own
standard of stable operating systems are so low.
Another race to the bottom?
--- Bill Doherty, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
Support Microsoft's proprietary format into an ISO standard is an industry
mistake that will only cause log term damage. The Open Document Format offers
the better option due to it's open non-proprietary format.
--- Michael Brice, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
We know the politics of Microsoft. A standard needs to be independent, not from
one company who wants to dictate the world.
--- Louis Mulder, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
ODF already exist; WHY another similiar ISO?
Maybe to satisfy Microsoft?
--- Luca Waldner, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
ISO standard with some parts unrevealed. Is this what an "open" standard means?
--- Carlos Javier Bahillo, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
Since when does Micro$oft supports something that is "open"?
Did I miss something?
--- D. Buis, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

I don't like to use the word "hate" but I really HATE Microsoft...

In a open world, who needs gates and windows?

Microsoft is obviously doing its best to destroy its credibility.
--- George Stathis, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
Microsoft is just being ridiculous.
The statement "a dual standard adds costs, uncertainty & confusion to industry,
government and citizens" is about as clearly stated as it gets.
--- Jonathan R. Graybeal III, in a posting @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
When you create more than one standard for one thing, the concept of standard is
broken.
Unfortunately, this is the Microsoft's way of doing things...
Too sad...
--- Gustavo Borges, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
Please honor the meaning of "OPEN" by not allowing any single, powerfull
company,
e.g. Microsoft, to unduly influence the openness of standard that affect
everyone
in business.
--- Philip Southall, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
"Open" formats should never be accepted from a single closed company corporation
like Microsoft. "Open" should only be applied to standard that are truly open
and free, not one companies' idea of a standard.
--- Jesse Bye, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
I vote NO to the Microsoft Office format as an ISO standard.
Microsoft should use the ISO26300 standard (Open Document Format).
--- Rob DiNardo, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
NO - Please do not make Microsoft Office format a standard. They are the number
one vendor to kill any open source initiative and have a proven record of
monopoly in the software market.
--- Ramki Mohan, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
"Legacy" support and "Binary Blobs" are not open.
Unless a 12 years old can implement your standard for personal use, freely, and
with any old IDE/language/platform/whatever, then your trash isn't "open",
shouldn't be labeled as such, and should NEVER be considered a "standard".
--- Timothy Smith, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
Please only approve and endorse truly OPEN standards, which were created
cooperatively by international bodies, with regards to previous and future
standards and which are vendor neutral. Please vote "NO" on ISO DIS 29500
(Office OpenXML or OOXML format).
--- Leonard Elia, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

Although it has "Open" in its name, this M$-junk is far from OPEN. Like most
M$-products its banana-software.
--- Thomas Gruijters, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

I do not TRUST Microsoft to have all parties interest in mind. This is based on
past history.
--- Philip Marchetti, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

Why do we need yet another Microsoft non-standard "standard"?
--- Larry McGoldrick, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

Microsoft is trying to monopolize the market.
--- Frank McDonald, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

One standard is enough.
--- Torsten Walter, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

We need a guaranteed fully open standard.

Flawed specs are always harmful.
And will contribute to bad history.
--- Harshavardhana Reddy, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

Nothing personal against Microsoft, but I can not see enough justification to
put in additional standard.
--- Tonu Naks, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

Microsoft Office?
I don't know much about it.
--- Wen Han, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
ODF is the best thing that happened to me. I can use my document on any platform
without having to make any adjustments. Using Microsoft proprietary formats just
complicates things.
--- Cristian-Doru Pop, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

We do not need another broken protocol that always works best with one vendor's
products.
--- Wolf Halton, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

I really would like a choice... all ways... in every direction...

I just persuaded an entire organization of 300 peoples to move to LaTex or
DocBook instead of MS Word for a lot of things. I would like to get them to move
away form MS Office altogether so stopping this from becoming an ISO standards
would be great.
--- Daniel Ball, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

Microsoft doesn't get it.
Taking a proprietary 'standard' and calling it open doesn't make it so.
Microsoft is perhaps the biggest reason why the world community wants open
standard to begin with.
--- Richard Caron, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
The proposed standard contradicts basic rules and regulations of standardizing.
--- Felix Lehmann, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
We all know how much respect Microsoft has for real standards. This is just
their latest attempt to corrupt a process that benefits both individuals and
ethical companies --Microsoft being neither of those.
--- Christopher MacGregor, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

We don't need a single point of view standard.

I'm not against proprietary formats being an ISO standard in general, but in
this case it's absolutely ridiculous.
--- Telmo Haeser, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
This proposed standard must not be approved. Microsoft is a word antithetical to
standards. Just look at IE's "CSS" support. The reason outlined in this petition
should be more than enough.
--- Joey Parrish, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
I support you and encourage you to fight against injustice and may the heritage
be bequeathed to our children be equity and freedom.
--- Ben Sumaili, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

There should not be competing ISO standards.
Standards should be created by a panel of experts from different organizations.
Standards should be of high quality.
--- Ender St. John-Olcayto, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
I have Microsoft. They do not have standards, they do not have nothing instead
of expensive OS.
--- Marian Bida, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
There is already a standard ISO 26300 named Open Document Format (ODF), so when
Microsoft wants to impose its own standard, it is not in the objective to reach
interworking but just for their businesses. It is still a proof of unfair
competition, or abuse of power.

All they know is marketing, intelectual property, DRM, locked BIOSes so only
their OS can be installed, trojan horse in the default installation of Windows
XP (idiot edition) and so on.
I spit at them.
--- Jan Novak, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
Standards should reference existing standards and build upon frameworks around
them, more than just for the storage of the data, but also for describing
representations of ideas (e.g. MathML).
The standard should be complete and concise, to the best of the standard
organization's ability.
--- D. Hal, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
I am disgusted by Microsoft's tactics. ODF should be enough and if Microsoft is
that eager, they should add to ODF and adopt it instead of making a new standard
from scratch. Shame on Microsoft and the puppets they used to gain the current
level of approval.
--- Asad Asif, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition
%
They can't compete on price, value, quality, features, or services so they will
commit fraud... Pretty sure they call that 'marketing'. Don't fall for it, ooxml
is evil, broken, and definitely not open.
We need FREE software, not proprietary software pretending to be free.
--- Tommy Chong, in a posting/petition @ www.noooxml.org/petition

I ask the national members of ISO to vote "NO" in the ballot of ISO DIS 29500
(Office OpenXML or OOXML) for the following reasons:
1. There is already a standard ISO26300 named Open Document Format (ODF): a
dual standard adds costs, uncertainty and confusion to industry,
government and citizens;
2. There is no provable implementation of the OOXML specification: Microsoft
Office 2007 produces a special version of OOXML, not a file format which
complies with the OOXML specification;
3. There is information missing from the specification document, for example
how to do a *autoSpaceLikeWord95* or *useWord97LineBreakRules*;
4. More than 10% of the examples mentioned in the proposed standard do not
validate as XML;
5. There is no guarantee that anybody can write software that fully or
partially implements the OOXML specification without being liable to
patent lawsuits or patent license fees by Microsoft;
6. This format conflicts with existing ISO standards, such as ISO 8601
(Representation of dates and times), ISO639 (Codes for the Representation
of Names and Languages) or ISO/IEC 10118-3 (cryptographic hash);
7. There is a bug in the spreadsheet file format which forbids any date
before the year 1900: such bugs affect the OOXML specification as well as
software applications like Microsoft Excel 2000, XP, 2003 and 2007.
8. This standard proposal was not created by bringing together the experience
and expertise of all interested parties (such as producers, sellers,
users
and regulators), but by Microsoft alone.
