This whole process stinks to high heaven - along with the governments handling of protocol and format standards and strategy.

This is clearly an attempt of the minority government to press through, the adaption of OOXML as a standard - against a 2/3 majority of the parliament.

Just as the government is in the process of privatising the health sector, the educational sector and so on.

..Stig, what do you mean by mistake . That he has been re-elected, and - as previous - presiding over a ministry ?
By the by, odf is a close-circuit to me, by way of being a binary format . (AND) How can you decide on a standard that is not a standard, i.e. common practice . OK, exchanging electronic documents is becoming a standard, a common practice . So de facto MS products are standards of that trade . But then theirs are not 'open standard', which most people already know, but to be reasonable their use is a common practice .
Everything is a mistake .

I'm pretty sure he's called Helge Sander, not Sandor.

I am Danish, and not entirely apathetic in regard to politics. I think there's been a mistake. Editor, take note.

It's bad enough that a government would confuse MS's offering with an open standard but if it's the "Ministry of Science and Technology" it becomes really silly and untenable to claim it is a confusion.
