here's a paragraph of it, A couple of weeks ago, ISO members voted to make Microsoft's Office Open XML format an official standard<http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080401-microsofts-office-open-xml-now-an-official-iso-standard.html>. The vote was not without its share of controversy<http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080403-ooxml-critics-iso-approval-demonstrates-the-need-for-reform.html>, but it's a done deal and now the world will get to see how Microsoft handles having the file format for its flagship office suite no longer under its exclusive command. ISO has now taken official control of the format and has put it under the aegis of the same Joint Technical Committee responsible for the OpenDocument Format. -- Shishir Jha EPC 1970,GPO 8975, KTM,NEPAL --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: foss-nepal@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
