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.)

I was very definite that I'm calling them idiots because they're uninformed.
It has nothing to do with agreeing with me. Did you notice how I said people reading this aren't idiots, because they're getting informed. I bet more than half of them disagree with me..
Don't put words in my mouth.

Those 99.9%, the idiots, are the ones you are not trying to convince, not us. Just about everyone here probably has their mind made up, and if they do change it, it won't be because of anything said here.
Are some consumers idiots? Yes. Doesn't mean it's all peachy keen for you to go around calling them all idiots because they aren't in line with your thinking.
