Pot, Meet Kettle

Chinese academics and software developers gathered in Beijing yesterday to voice their opposition to Microsoft's latest standard document format Office Open XML (OOXML).

Major software developers, academics and industry associations spoke out against Microsoft's "monopoly" on the format of digital documents.
If Microsoft were a Chinese state-owned industry, this would not be in the newspaper. The "major" software developers, academics and industry associations shouldn't be too bothered since no one here pays for Microsoft products anyway.
