I hate Microsoft as a company and most of their products are less than desireable. I really don't care about OOXML one way or the other. It is so similar to ODF it's really silly. They did a great job in Office2007. It's about time they did something good for the user. I don't give Microsoft kudos very often.
Why is GNOME really backing OOXML? Why do they even care? What's in it for them? Is this some ploy for Microsoft to get further into the Linux world and start claiming intellectual property on code that they couldn't write to save their lives; effectively sedning Linux into a downward spiral and taking GNOME with them? Any "ally" Microsoft attaches to almost immediately starts feeling remorse for their actions and a desire to repent for their sins. GNOME, be careful of what you are doing. You could spell disaster for the rest of us unwittingly. Is this yet another Microsoft conspiracy thoery? Only time will tell.
