Quoting:In an email to Neowin, Marino Marcich, executive director of the ODF Alliance said he believed the ballot screen falls short in several areas. Comparing it to the browser ballot screen for Windows 7, Marcich said: "Microsoft offered the EU a ballot screen that gave the browser choices in randomized order, with an unbiased message, including a link for further information provided by the vendor. But the file format ballot screen gives OOXML the first position. It gives a biased description of ODF, listing the liabilities of Microsoft's ODF implementation while failing to state any of ODF's advantages."

Yes, I'm surprised. MS offering ODF as a default file format when MS Office is installed? Nobody would have thought a few years ago.

There must really have been a huge demand to make MS bend like this.

But then, I went to 'Shutter Island' the day before yesterday; I may have to go to 'the lighthouse' as well. You know, "my mother said to me never to look into the sun, though once i did."
