I've been following this whole sordid mess for the last few days.

No matter how this comes out, MS wins. If their OOXML standard is approved, they win. Regardless of whether the standard is approved or not, the ISO's credibility has been severely tarnished by this, so MS still wins.

Edit: The more I think about this, the more I think that just as soon as I can make a living writing non-windows software, I'm going to stop having anything whatsoever to do with Microsoft and its products.
