Norway's Yes-To-OOXML Is Formally Protested

An anonymous reader writes "Norway's yes-to-OOXML may tip the vote in favor of accepting it as an ISO-standard, but the committee chairman just faxed a formal protest to the ISO. 'I am writing to you in my capacity as Chairman (of 13 years standing) of the Norwegian mirror committee to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34. I wish to inform you of serious irregularities in connection with the Norwegian vote on ISO/IEC DIS 29500 (Office Open XML) and to lodge a formal protest. You will have been notified that Norway voted to approve OOXML in this ballot. This decision does not reflect the view of the vast majority of the Norwegian committee, 80% of which was against changing Norway's vote from No with comments to Yes.'"

Re:Norway corrupt too?

I seriously wonder where you got the idea that America is somehow more corrupt than European countries Possibly from Slashdot, where Europe can do no wrong and America can do no right. Not sure if you've been paying attention around here, though.

Norway to compete in Bejing

[Bushido Hacks]

I suppose next we will hear about how Norway will be competing in Bejing ignoring the human rights violations that are being committed by China in Tibet.

Expect Norway to be sorely beaten by Kenya that country of Kenya will piss on Norway.
