If there was ever a place for non-violent protest...

All ethical means possible should be used to prevent anything Microsoft produces becoming an international standard. Their shoddy products, consumption centered design, and taking good ideas and making them worse are just fine for deluding you and me directly, causing us to waste time and money in confusion and mediocrity, but an international body determining what is best for the world needs to be educated. Microsoft does not create stability. They do not create standards. They create schlock.

The highest scrutiny and care must be used in forming "International Standards". It is an awesome responsibility and concerned folks everywhere must stand up and hold the ISO to do its job.
