Here are few more updates on my article on India rejecting ooxml
ISO Puts Standard for Microsoft’s OOXML – News from Heise Online UK.
schliz alerts us that ISO, in response to the four appeals (Venezuela, India, Brazil, South Africa) filed in recent weeks, has put the OOXML standardization process on hold. Here is ISO’s press release, which says that ISO/IEC DIS 29500 will not be published for at least “several months” while the appeals process goes forward.
Looks like all the developing nations are all set to blow up Mircosoft’s Monopoly atleast with respect to their OOXML getting standardized by ISO.
