    <p>The <a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO">International Organization for
Standardization(ISO)</a> has approved
Microsoft's <a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OOXML">OOXML</a> as a
standard.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>ISO/IEC DIS 29500, I<em>nformation technology – Office Open XML file
formats</em>, has received the necessary number of votes for approval as
an ISO/IEC International Standard.</p>
<p>Approval required at least 2/3 (i.e. 66.66 %) of the votes cast by
national bodies participating in the joint technical committee
ISO/IEC JTC 1, <em>Information technology</em>, to be positive; and no more
than 1/4 (i.e. 25 %) of the total number of ISO/IEC national body
votes cast to be negative. These criteria have now been met with 75
% of the JTC 1 participating member votes cast positive and 14 % of
the total of national member body votes cast negative.</p>

<p>Lots of us in India were happy that
<a class="reference external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_of_Indian_Standards">BIS</a> had
decided to vote against OOXML. Short - lived happiness as it turns out.</p>
