I agree, in fact...
It's quite directly about linux, since the story is also about OOXML,
and Microsoft's attempts to corrupt the BSI, ECMA (well, too late there,
I suppose) and ISO in order to devalue the linux-friendly ODF standard
by adding a second standard (against ISO rules I think?) which was linux
unfriendly.
Presumably, Mr Farquhar will be looking for new employment? One wonders
just how much money he wasted in this exercise.
