+
+<p>According to <a
+href="http://twerner.blogspot.com/2009/08/defects-of-office-open-xml.html">a
+blog post from Torsten Werner</a>, the current defect report for ISO
+29500 (ISO OOXML) is 809 pages. His interesting point is that the
+defect report is 71 pages more than the full ODF 1.1 specification.
+Personally I find it more interesting that ISO still believe ISO OOXML
+can be fixed in ISO. Personally, I believe it is broken beyon repair,
+and I completely lack any trust in ISO for being able to get anywhere
+close to solving the problems. I was part of the Norwegian committee
+involved in the OOXML fast track process, and was not impressed with
+Standard Norway and ISO in how they handled it.</p>
+
+<p>These days I focus on ODF instead, which seem like a specification
+with the future ahead of it. We are working in NUUG to organise a ODF
+seminar this autumn.</p>

+
+<p>Just for fun, I did a search right now on Google for a few file ODF
+and MS Office based formats, to get an idea of their relative usage.
+I searched using 'filetype:odt' and equvalent terms, and got these
+results:</P>
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
+<tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:282000</td> <td>docx:308000</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:75600</td> <td>pptx:183000</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:26500 </td> <td>xlsx:145000</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>Next, I added a 'site:no' limit to get the numbers for Norway, and
+got these numbers:</p>
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
+<tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:2480 </td> <td>docx:4460</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:299 </td> <td>pptx:741</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:187 </td> <td>xlsx:372</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>I wonder how these numbers change over time.</p>
+
+<p>I am aware of Google returning different results and numbers based
+on where the search is done, so I guess these numbers will differ if
+they are conduced in another country. Because of this, I did the same
+search from a machine in California, USA, a few minutes after the
+search done from a machine here in Norway.</p>
+
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
+<tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:129000</td> <td>docx:308000</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:44200</td> <td>pptx:93900</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:26500 </td> <td>xlsx:82400</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>And with 'site:no':
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>Type</th><th>ODF</th><th>MS Office</th></tr>
+<tr><td>Tekst</td> <td>odt:2480</td> <td>docx:3410</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Presentasjon</td> <td>odp:175</td> <td>pptx:604</td></tr>
+<tr><td>Regneark</td> <td>ods:186 </td> <td>xlsx:296</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>Interesting difference, not sure what to conclude from these
+numbers.</p>
