For those who don't think that it's perfectly ok that Microsoft have
made an attempt to embrace open standards and have had their approach
ratified by ISO and BSI, UKUUG is seeking a juicial review of BSI. BSI
are claiming that they are innocent and want UKUUG to pay their huge
legal bill (£24k). If you actually care about this, joining UKUUG
would be the best thing to do.

If you don't, that's perfectly defensible too.
