Or how MS bought so many members on Sweden's committee etc. It's not a secret that they do that, German DIN got sold out too, which makes me very sad about my country :(
For some German background infos from heise: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/94766 "As "bizzare" and "curious" describe insiders, while Microsoft welcomes this decision" Many of them works directly for Microsoft or for companies which works for/with microsoft (not to mention that two of them were from companies that develop an "Open-XML-Translator" for Microsoft). At the end only IBM, SUN, the foreign department and the inner department for no.IMHO it's especially interesting, that only the parties that are completly independent from microsoft voted for no. The German Telekom and Google, which wanted to participate(and guess what they would have voted for..), where cut out :/ Greetings Michael
