It was interesting to follow the battle between ODF and OOXML at the ISO standards voting commitee.

According to NY Times:

Of the 87 countries that participated, 26 percent opposed Microsoft’s bid. Under the rules for approval, no more than 25 percent of the countries could oppose the bid. Microsoft also failed to win the vote of 66 percent of 41 countries on another panel of I.S.O. and I.E.C. members.

Countries opposing Microsoft’s OOXML format included India Good to see India’s getting it head straight by not aligning itself with the $$$.
