Google smacks down Microsoft (again)

In a recent post on the google blog they lay some smack down for Microsoft's continued attempts to get their OOXML standardised. The kicker is:

Currently, the technology industry is evaluating a proposed ISO standard for document formats. Given the importance of a workable standard, Microsoft's submission of Office Open XML (OOXML ) as an additional international standard has caught the attention of many. In September 2007, the original request to ISO was defeated. After further technical analysis of the specification along with all the additional data available on OOXML, Google believes OOXML would be an insufficient and unnecessary standard, designed purely around the needs of Microsoft Office.

Yes, Microsoft, you are now no longer the big cheese.
