Story: Details emerge of 'shocking' OOXML meeting

Does that mean we should do nothing?

The sad thing about attitudes like this is that it does make further market domination so much easier for Microsoft. To say that because standards battles have been lost in the past and perhaps with OOXML, lost here, such battles will always be lost. As a result, Microsoft will always win and so, what is the point does smack of defeatism.
Come on, even Microsoft, like any good hunter, must enjoy the thrill of the chase!
Personally, I believe this current fight is in the balance. From here on in it will be down to which authorities have the steeliest nerve. Open standards are good. Vendor-dominated standards are bad (usually).
