M$ Office 2007 not comforms own OOXML standard, LOL

Alex Brown has just admitted on his Griffin Brown blog that Office 2007 has failed two OOXML conformance tests he ran resulting in cca 122000 errors in strict validation. ROFL

So where's the promised interoperability and the open document format? Nowhere, and won't be. The ISO standard was needed only for marketing purposes, a honey pot for blind managers and politicians.

I hope somebody will implement the OOXML in the correct way and start to distribute it for free (maybe OpenOffice?). A good negative campaign will do it...

OOXML should be rejected!!!

Open XML as ISO Standard

It happened few days ago that Micro$oft's Open XML standard was accepted as an ISO standard. It last around a year to do so. Despite the fact that it contains hundreds (or rather thousands) of problematic places.

Congratulation to national and international byrocracy, corruption, ignorance to protests and comments, for votes 'Yes with remarks'! There exists only vote 'Yes.' and 'No with remarks'.

After this I can't imagine what could other ISO standards contain that haven't been followed by as big publicity.
