Story: Details emerge of 'shocking' OOXML meeting
If OOXML is approved ....
Perhaps it does not actually matter whether OOXML is a dog's breakfast or not, or even whether M$ can implement it or not, they will not have any obligation to implement ODF and similarly they will not adopt ODF. Neither can anyone else seriously develop/incorporate OOXML.
Case closed. Ergo, M$ can continue as they have for many years.
Of course, the object of securing a stable document standard for the future will not be delivered, and Microsoft will have generated an ongoing market for it's services.
You have to admire M$'s guile.
