Re: Here come the conspiracy theories!
This is a win for common sense and the overwhelming majority of the world who don't use open source, or OpenOffice or other similar apps and therefore have no desire or need for ODF.

Speaking of theories.

It really doesn't matter to users whether ooxml was approved. I mean, really, if you're an Office user, how is this a win for you? Do you mean it's really sucked so far but now things are looking brighter? What's going to change for you because of ISO approval?
