Well ok. But if it was run by a mozilla de...@Quien? Well ok. But if it was run by a mozilla developer and firefox did well, would you have the same suspicion?<br /><br />I think there's too much conspiratorial skepticism with Microsoft. Sure, they have a history of really underhanded tricks; but those were in the 1990s; at what point can they get past those?<br /><br />And besides, most of the really dirty tricks are done by marketing, and they are the same tricks that any for-profit-software (Sun, SGI, IBM, Oracl) use; basically "we are more cost effective than free somehow, and read this".<br /><br />I don' think this is the case though. I found this test on my own, just by poking around wikipedia and then I went to the site. The buzz and press of this test was created basically, entirely by me; and if Microsoft wants to send me a check for it, I'd probably cash it; but it hasn't happened.<br /><br />I think this is a relatively benign and agnostic thing in the world of seedy testing; which is indeed frought with corruption. If you look at the previous post I went into some details about trying to verify the veracity of it; I really can't paint Microsoft into a corner any more so then Google or Mozilla on this one.<br /><br />Although if you'd like to start an initiative to get a more "honest" test, then please, I'll hop on board; I'm all for transparency.kristopoloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488643479825208921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573056240198184825.post-40378339496573400312011-11-15T08:17:43.605-08:002011-11-15T08:17:43.605-08:00I don't know what to say about this test. I ha...I don't know what to say about this test. I have my doubts.<br /><br />We know that Microsoft is very close to ECMA, they approved the OOXML standard (which was very low quality) and make a fast track to approve it ISO. ECMA was the standard body used by Microsoft to do that, and the way the pull out the standard didn't help for their reputation. <br /><br />On the other hand the test script is created by the ECMA TC39 team. Who is an active member of that team?<br />- David Fugarte (MS Employee) (http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=21929029)<br /><br />I do not trust ECMA being serious enough about standards. After the OOXML fiasco I just think of ECMA as an standard body were you can give a pile of cash to approve anything.<br /><br />There might be good standards promoted by ECMA out there, but I don't trust ECMA anymore.Quien?https://www.blogger.com/profile/04432856755340039128noreply@blogger.com
