OOXML nije prošao

Bez obzira što će vas Microsoft press release pokušati uvjeriti u suprotno, jedno je sigurno: Microsoft nije uspio u pokušaju da ubrzanom procedurom progura prihvaćanje OOXML-a za ISO standard.

Microsoft spins OOXML loss as a win

Mary Jo piše Why Microsoft deserved to lose the OOXML standards vote. Obavezno pročitajte njezin post jer je iznijela sve najvažnije aspekte ove sapunice. Zaključak je vrlo sličan onome o čemu sam i ja pisao na ovom blogu i po komentarima.

In spite of the rhetoric on both sides, Microsoft wants OOXML to gain ISO standardization so that it won’t lose out on government contracts that require “open,” standards-based products. Microsoft’s competitors don’t want Microsoft to obtain ISO standardization because they see this loss as a chance for them to finally lessen Microsoft’s 90-plus-percent market share in the desktop-productivity suite business.
This battle’s not about interoperability, motherhood and apple pie: It’s about Microsoft wanting to keep its desktop-suite monopoly and its competitors seeking ways to break Redmond’s stranglehold on this part of Microsoft’s business.


Naš HZN je dao svoj glas za OOXML, izgleda da su ipak našli nekoga tko će poslati mail. :-)
