Microsoft OOXML was NOT approved by ISO

Unfortunately, this is an April's fool joke:  OOXML has been approved. However according to ZDNet the E.U. is investigating the vote. But you can still smile by  reading this list of open source related jokes for April 2008. 

• Funambol designed a new interface for the iPhone
• SUN  to recall all their open source
• The Linux journal renamed itself the BeOS journal
• Microsoft acquired Spring source
• Linux is moving its Kernel to BSD
• OpenMoko will support Windows Mobile
• No Fedora 10 release, reversing to Red Hat name

All 2008 jokes not related to open source can be found on Wikipedia

Please contribute: add those I have missed in comments, have fun!

UPDATE: (04/22/08) Microsoft Office 2007 failed to pass OOXML compliance test 

UPDATE: (05/23/08) South Africa  appeals ISO
