Microsoft employees and Microsoft-sympathetic bloggers like Alex Brown are hopping on Alan Bryden's dismissive remarks of denial [1, 2, 3, 4] and use these to clean their own consciousness out in public. They try to pretend that they don't know what happened. It was a similar story and a case of rewriting history just a fortnight ago when Bill gates was preparing to leave [1, 2, 3] and play politics instead. It's totally missing the point.
In any event, here is a new video explaining the importance of ODF. OOXML was nothing but an attack on ODF and its goals. It was reactionary. ⬆
"People who work for Facebook / Xitter / Bytedance's Tiktok / Microsoft / Oracle / IBM / Apple / Uber / Lyft / Wolt / DoorDash / AirBnB / Bolt / and so on are doing some world-class projection when they have the audacity to call others Bad People(tm)"
It certainly does seem like they receive money from taxpayers for nothing, or for IBM to do mass layoffs/closure at Albany under the guise of "making a new spinoff"...
