KDE Yays OOXML?!

Over at KDE News, the KDE people are reporting that their delegate has accepted OOXML as a standard, and the first thing that goes into my mind is Why?!

I quote from the KDE News article:

"and following a $10,000 donation from an anonymous North American source we realised the market should decide the best formats to use, not technical bureaucrats".

A donation? from an anonymous North American source? Could it possibly be in fact a bribe from Microsoft?!
KOffice developers have confirmed their support for the standard and it is going to be implemented in future releases of KOffice.

The news article at KDE News does read like an April's fools joke more than a news article, I sure hope it is!
