Microsoft intends to submit file formats for its new Office 12 applications to the European standards body ECMA International. The company hopes this will allay concern about its level of control over document formats. Update by AS: For the curious, here's a sample Office 12 file and a sample XPS file. (Note: Right click > Save As..., we're not configured to serve these files just yet.)

And people will fall for it. When we say "you idiots, here's what they'll do.." they'll ignore us. Then when it happens (like IE) they'll look shocked.
Typical ignorant consumerism.
