Long live the Microsoft Zimbabwe standard
In recognition of ISO adoption of IS 29500 it will hence forth be formally known ans the Zimbabwe stand.

Microsoft vote riggers (sorry I mean keen standards followers) were quoted as saying "we learnt all about ballot padding from Mr Mugabe"

A Microsoft employee was quoted as saying "this proves our standard is acceptable to all users" "we are only sorry that Mr Mugabe failed in his bid to retain power in his election"

Non the less we will be promoting the Zimbabwe standard from now on.
