Kako je Microsoft kupio švedski glas

Microsoft je jako odlučan u namjeri da progura OOXML i čini se da ga u tome ništa ne može zaustaviti. Pri tome se služe svakojakim metodama. Najnoviji je slučaj Švedske gdje je na prepad pokoreno tijelo (SIS) koje je trebalo izglasovati odluku pa je NE preokrenut u odlučno DA.

23 kompanije (uglavnom Microsoft partneri) su na dan glasovanja platile članstvo u tijelu koje je donosilo odluku i tako u zadnji čes preokrenule rezultat. 25 glasova je bilo za, 6 protiv, a 4 člana su napustila sastanak.

Komentar:

Jonas Bosson, Chairman of FFII in Sweden, comments: "SIS handling of this is deficient to say the least -- despite knowing a great deal about this problem already on Thursday they did not take any action. The standardisation process is built on the principle of consensus, which was very difficult to conceive of yesterday. It had been possible and desirable for SIS to draw a clear line against these types of scenarios, but regrettably they have chosen to support the recommendation of the working group even under these circumstances."
