●● Gentle Request: Sign the “No OOXML” Petition

Posted in Formats, Microsoft, Open XML, Petitions, Standard at 12:07 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

If you have a moment, please sign the petition that opposes Microsoft’s OOXML. Almost 5,000 people have done so by now. Sadly, victims of Microsoft deals now support OOXML (because they must). If you are unconvinced, you can track the developments which we have covered since November.

The petition’s arguments, which are presented in the form of bulletpoints, cover some of the more obvious issues. Recall some of the — shall we say — corruption involved in getting OOXML as far as it has gone. Gross manipulation of standards body and legislation should not be tolerated, so please make yourself heard and stand up for free competition.

Thank you.
