Can someone please help me understand what the deal with OOXML is?
If the standard sucks, and no one uses it, does it matter?
Is the standard supposed to help Microsoft with its antitrust problems somehow?
Is it supposed to somehow help Microsoft advance its business "unfairly"?
is the problem that ISO isn't seen as legitimate organization anymore, because it passed a badly flawed standard?
