Norwegian Standards Body Members Resign Over OOXML
tsa writes "Ars Technica reports that 13 of the 23 members from the technical committee of the Norwegian standards body, the organization that manages technical standards for the country, have resigned because of the way the OOXML standardization was handled. We've previously discussed Norway's protest and ISO's rejection of other appeals. From the article: 'The standardization process for Microsoft's office format has been plagued with controversy. Critics have challenged the validity of its ISO approval and allege that procedural irregularities and outright misconduct marred the voting process in national standards bodies around the world.

Twitter if you are reading this,dude let go of the M$ BS,'kay? That bit was old when I was running a Windows help chatroom during the mid '90s. If you don't want to type Microsoft simply use MSFT,which is simple,cuts out half the letters,is easy to understand and look up for those that are too young to have used DOS,and if it makes you feel better we all know that with Vista MSFT was looking at the stock price instead of making an OS that was actually good.
