Come si è detto, anche in Italia le cose non sembrano essere andate nella direzione auspicata da Microsoft. Qui l'organismo responsabile di esprimere un voto per Open XML è UNINFO che, stando a dati ancora ufficiosi - ma confermati da più parti - ha vo

Something rotten in the State of Sweden | Free Software Magazine - Laurie Langham - 31.08.2007
This entire OOXML campaign stinks! This is being forced on everyone simply because one corporation has manufactured a back-door strategy, to maintain a software monopoly. Around the world, we decided that we needed a new universal standard...

Superficial Standards | iface thoughts - 31.08.2007
Surprising stories are coming out of the effort of making OOXML as a standard. The one creating the hype is the one from Sweden. However, the vote has been retracked. Apparently some Microsoft employee tried to bribe some partners for the vote.

My resolve to treat Microsoft like any another license submitter is being sorely tested. | Open Source Initiative - Eric S. Raymond - 31.08.2007
.. Because Microsoft's behavior in the last few months with respect to OOXML has been egregious. They haven't stopped at pushing a "standard" that is divisive, technically bogus, and an obvious tool of monopoly lock-in; they have resorted to lying, ballot

There is no end, but addition: Alex Brown's weblog - OOXML is Still on the Fast Track - 12.08.2007
Very little that happens now can affect the course of the standardisation: the process is on rails, and Ecma have even lost the right to withdraw the text from the process (it is ISO's now). Theoretically, there are just four routes forward: ...

The Open Sourcerer » Alex Brown - Convenor of the Ballot Resolution Meeting on OOXML - 29.08.2007
Microsoft continues to do its level best to drag the ISO process for the OOXML ’standard’ through the dirt. Their latest astonishing move was to drag 20 partners into the Swedish voting process at the last minute.
