So who really wants M$’ dodgy standard anyway?

Wow! I just came across this interesting statistical site today: www.odf-eag.eu/odf-metrics and there are some real corkers:

Developers & Interested Parties at Aug 07 working with:
MSOOXML: 600
XML/IEC:26300: 2.4 MILLION

Current Developer Projects at Aug 07:
MSOOXML: Not Disclosed
XML/IEC:26300: 254,000 Annually

And take a look at the last table – it shows how many files of particular types have been found on the web: there are scant few in the new MSOOXML (Office 2007) native file format. Seems like it isn’t exactly ~~~taking off~~~ now does it?
