trash

"We can all thank Microsoft for having achieved the goal of spoiling the establishments of standards"

"XBox 360 is dead. The problem is that Microsoft permits innocent human beings to die with it. Money comes before safety, honesty, and people’s lives"

"ISO is becoming a laughing stock in the IT circles.” Who can ever rely on ISO for standards-setting anymore? To prevent the death or dishonouring of standards, ISO must go now"

"ISO essentially got corrupted from the inside, based on what we could gather. It should now be seen as credible as IDC and Gartner, i.e. it’s a trash can of numbers, [presented by chaps who are always smiling behind a till]"

"After many high-level departures, including presidents, the situation is not promising and the company has lost over $100 billion in value. The more scared it gets, the more aggressive it will become. it’s not sustainable though"

"People inside ISO and people who participated have already admitted that Microsoft abused the rules, but such people are either ignored, gagged, or have already left in protest or fear. It is very embarrassing"

"You would not believe this unless you have already seen the hundreds — if not thousands — of documented cases where the OOXML process had been abused"
