Story: ISO calls for end to OOXML 'personal attacks'
Personal attacks?
I suggest that these folk with their "open letter" talk to the EC people who are investigating the allegations of dubious dealings. Or are they saying that the EC investigators are personally attacking them?
That being said, where's Microsoft in all this? Having got the standard approved they seem to have skedaddled (one of my favourite Americanisms!). Where are all their people making the standard work, fix the problems etc? Where now is their commitment to it?
Ah well, why would they care, I'm sure they were only ever going to support their "special enhanced version" of OOXML that has so many hooks to it that you could mistake it for a long line.
