Funny?

Here's one of many brief histories of Microsoft's approach to standards. Have a look at: http://www.grokdoc.net/index.php/Dirty_Tricks_history

More recently, there's the OOXML v. ODF scandal, and then there's the EC's rulings against Microsoft on incompatibilities/interoperation, the one where the EC fined them huge amounts of money and forced them (or at least they're trying) to make them tow the legal line.

Nah, Microsoft has never played fair/legal with standards, and it's a bit early to say they've changed their game.
