Hi,

It’s nice to know that ABNT evaluates innovations based on their technical features and that it works on its own, instead of giving in to lobbying pressures. This is rather rare in this country. Please keep going !

First to Standardize? Who even uses ODF outside of Open Office. Is it not a shame commercial companies like Apple are being political by adopting it. Value my friend.

The fact of the matter is OOXML is Microsoft’s attempt at “future locking” the future of all of humanity’s digitals assets in a propietary format. How unfortunate when 50 years from now quadrillions of bytes of data will essentailly be undecipherable or lost to future generations because Microsoft and friends had their collective heads so far up their collectives asses that they love the smell of their own BS.
