It seems Microsoft is lobbying the UK Cabinet office for OOXML in place of

Anyone that has a point of view can respond to the consultation at
http://consultation.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/openstandards/how-to-respond/

The more that state odf is the choice if we want proper open standards the
better so please publicise on relevant lists.

Who cares? OOXML is a standard and I've heard of some compatible
freeware. I think it was named Liber Office or something ...


Nice irony. :)

The consultation document itself was created using LO34, yet
classified with the government organisation as a "word template"! This
proves the strategic fallacy of using LO as an m$ clone to create m$
documents. As long as users are encouraged to create m$ documents
using LO, m$ will remain dominant.
