Microsoft's Wikipedia Shill - My recommendation on Office Open XML: "No with
Comments"!

| Vote “No”? But aren’t I supposed to be Microsoft’s biggest fanboy? Well, what
| I mean is a conditional approval, not a rejection.

It seems like a plot which says that "no" votes are actually a "yes, with
comments". Bob Sutor warned about such ugly spin (see link at bottom).
That's also the guy who toured the world's on Microsoft budget (he does
consulting for them) and advocated the format, which is not "open" (another
Microsoft lie).

Lying about openness and using money to brainwash people through newspapers.
Nice.
"Microsoft's Brian Jones, sums it up best. The OOXML ECMA spec is not finished
yet."

"Those whores will probably never be seen at a standards meeting again, unless
Microsoft has another proprietary standard they want to foist onto the public
as "open"."

"If they let this sort of manipulation take place without pulling the plug on
fast tracking OOXML, it will prove just how inadequet the hole process is and
how little it means. ISO will become WORTHLESS."
http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2007-08-28-029-26-NW-SW-PB-0001
"It is a case of a blatant exercise of monopolistic powers and monetary clout.
If ISO crumbles under such an underhand onslaught it must surely cease to be a
body with any meaning and purpose."

Same in pretty much all the forums. Microsoft leads to revolt.

No is no, to OOXML

| I’ve heard several reports of supporters of OOXML trying to get national
| standards bodies to change their votes from “NO with comments” to “YES with
| comments” because “it’s the same thing.” The logic, which I’ll explain in a
| later post, is that any comments will trigger a ballot resolution meeting, so
| there is no need to be so negative and vote NO.
