A new level of corruption
Microsoft running a smear campaign in India after losing the vote.

The Polish chairwoman swinging their vote by spreading Microsoft authored documentation about the BRM. Changing "NO" votes to "YES", and threatening lawsuits against anyone who dares to tell the outside world about it. Actions which appear to have now drawn yet another EU investigation into OOXML activities.

High level lobbying in Malaysia to 'convince' politicians to overturn the recommendations of their technical committee. Not to mention all the games they've tried to play with Malaysia's technical committee.

18 votes from Microsoft, MS business partners and 'Gold' partners to stuff the ballot in Romania.

Gates himself calling the president of Mexico on the eve of the vote.
And on and on and on.....


This is history folks. Microsoft is writing a brand new book on fraud and corruption.
