Business As Usual according to St. M$

"If it was not for IBM, it would have been business as usual for this standard."

What an amazing statement! Fast Track. Compromised ISO. Promises to be broken. Proprietry Content. Hidden Information. Unspecified Dependencies. Poorly Documented. Stuffed Ballots, etc., etc. Need I go on? Oh Yes. Only for MS Office 2007.

"Business as usual" Microsoft lock-in. Past, present and future. No interest in the greater good such as an open and durable Standard that can be universely and safely adopted. And anyway M$ document format will be changed every few years.
