Roy, you're a parnoid git.
Nobody at Microsoft, nor any of its supporters that I'm aware of has ever
done anything to sabotage ODF adoption. Frankly, nobody in these groups
really cares about ODF. Microsoft didn't stand in the way of the ODF ISO
standardization effort in any way either, and in fact helped.
The only "sabotaging" that's going on has been on the part of ODF
proponents who expend enormous effort trying to sabotage OOXML adoption
anywhere.
Microsoft doesn't care if ODF is adopted by anyone or not. They do care if
they are being excluded. ODF and OOXML are not mutually exclusive.
Compare:
Microsoft votes for ODF in the ISO.
Sun and IBM mount massive campaigns to discredit OOXML.
Microsoft works with the State of Mass to meet their requirements, not
doing anything to prevent or influence ODF usage.
Sun and IBM work with the State of Mass to "railroad" Microsoft out of
consideration, even after they jump through all the hoops put before them.
ODF proponents characterize Microsofts reaction to anti-OOXML rhetoric as
trying to "sabotage" ODF adoption. In their minds being Pro-OOXML means
you're anti-ODF, when nothing could be further from the truth.
Get it through your head, Roy. Microsoft doesn't care about ODF. They're
not against it. They're not for it. They just don't care. The inverse
cannot seem to be said for ODF proponents.
