Brussels, 2 April 2008 — ISO members failed to disapprove the Open XML format. Micro$oft has compromised the International Standards Organisation (ISO) during the rush to get a stamp for their Office OpenXML (OOXML), using unfair practices such as committee stuffing in several countries and political interventions of ministers in the standardization process.
Now ISO is not International Standards Organization any more, it simply means I $old Out, and becomes a division of Micro$oft. And Micro$oft is now not Micro$oft, it is Mi$o$oft.
Now that the broken OOXML format becomes a standard, what we need to do from now on is to keep far far away from it, refuse to use it, stick to and try all our best to spread and promote ODF. The fight against OOXML is not over, it will continue. Mi$o$oft makes the beginning of a new attack. I'd like to remind it: EVERYTHING THAT HAS AN BEGINNING HAS AN END! We won't give up our fighting!
“ISO should hang their heads in shame for allowing it to happen.”
