Microsoft, OOXML and the ISO

Linux Journal: "Microsoft plays to win. As a result, it seems to regard any legal means as justified, and sometimes even strays outside the law, as the US anti-trust case demonstrated.

In the context of marketplace rough-and-tumble, such aggressiveness is perhaps acceptable, but in other realms, there may be serious collateral damage.

A good example of where that is the case is Microsoft's behaviour during the OOXML standardisation process at the ISO."
