ISO is worth nothing
I don't know why I've waited to post this. For several months, it has been known that Microsoft has bribed several companies, country officials of several nations in order to push their idea of standard through the whole world.
There is an actual open standard on office-type documents (no royalties needed, full specs) that is implemented by at least one program and being implement by several others, which stops everyone from having to use the same software for eternity to access those documents. The moment this started becoming a reality, several countries were going to demand the use of programs that implemented a standard for office documents.
Microsoft got scared. Very scared. Office was treatened, and with it also a lot of the necessity of using Window. So they started lobying and bribing (legally, except as concerns to undue influence of the market, which is a subjective matter even to courts). ISO saw a lot of millions and disregarded their own process, and also got invaded by a ton of countries that stagnate it because they don't care to vote on anything else.
