ISO Rejects Microsoft’s OOXML as Standard
The title is somewhat misleading – OOXML was not rejected as a standard, but the attempt to fast track its approval failed. This is a good thing. While a setback for Microsoft, it now will allow some of the comments raised against the specification to be addressed before a new vote occurs.
Unfortunately, it means we get to listen to much more of the ODF vs OOXML, “Microsoft is evil” babel.
Such is life.
