The result of internal voting in INCITS on whether ECMA Office Open XML should become an ISO standard was announced in a Computerworld article: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&arti cleId=9030278&pageNumber=1 The vote was 8 for, 7 against and one abstention. "Members that voted against Open XML were longtime Redmond antagonists such as IBM Corp. and Oracle Corp., printer maker Lexmark International, barcode standards group GS1 US, federal groups such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the U.S. Department of Defense, and Farance. The IEEE abstained. Voting for Open XML were longtime Microsoft partners such as Intel Corp., EMC Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co., and Sony Electronics, as well as foes such as Apple Inc., which is supporting Open XML in its just-released iWork '08 productivity software. The Department of Homeland Security, the Electronic Industries Alliance and Microsoft also voted for Open XML, which would join the OpenDocument Format (ODF) as ISO-approved standards.
