Delegates from 32 national delegations that attended the ISO's five-day Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM) decided to abandon the required individual review of 900 of 1,100 comments -- or dispositions -- that were filed concerning OOXML. Those comments were filed as part of the ISO's September 2 preliminary vote for approval of OOXML, which went against the Microsoft-developed and ECMA approved document format. The delegates went on to approve the proposed changes.
You are right about that. I did a google search and found that exact posting repeated, mostly here but also on other sites. His keeping and reposting that without editing it to fix the errors and answer questions that people ask show that he is a troll.
If you want to use Linux, you can. If you want to use Open Office, you can.
For individuals this is true for companies it often is not. For example a company wants to sell to a government that uses MS Office has to submit those documents in the governments required MS Office format, any errors in producing that format will likely keep them from selling to the government so the company will use MS Office just so they can sell to the government. When those megacorps deal with lesser companies the same MS Office format requirement trickles down.
Change this to a truly open format and it won't matter what compatible product you use you can submit it without caring what software the other side of the deal uses. That would bestow the right to use Linux and OpenOffice on all, not just those who can choose not to deal with governments and their mandated MS Office format "standard" that is non standard.
I hope that ESCR can be made to produce ESC with out killing embryos. ESC are much more flexible than adult stem cells. Try healing a problem in an organ that repairs very slowly, thus does not produce very active adult stem cells.... like the kidney.

I believe that if you check that out it was a 5 day not 5 week meeting. Which of course make the flaw even greater.
