MS strongest attacks are where it is weakest

Microsoft has a long long history of making its strongest verbal attacks on the very topic in which it is weakest.

It is Microsoft's defensive stance to try and deflect the focus from its own biggest weakness or fault.

The reality is that Microsoft's underhanded lobbying, bullying, and questionable tactics have been well documented on Groklaw and other sites.

What is clear is that Microsoft despises open standards and that OOXML fails all serious tests of an open standard.
