OpenDocument Now Published ISO Standard

bobibobi writes "After months of revisions, OpenDocument receives status of a full published standard. The various stages of a standard's "stage code are also online." The OpenDocument standard has been developed by a variety of organizations and is publicly accessible. This means it can be implemented into any system, be it free software/open source or a closed proprietary product, without royalties.

We'll soon see the flurry of fud from them - ISO standards mean nothing much, we're all about lowering tco etc ... But seriously, what difference does it make to anyone? I've been using odt long before and that's not going to change. Those big corporations with a billion dollar budget were using Word since decades. I don't see how that's going to change either.
