Critical components of the .NET platform *ARE* standards (ECMA TC39/TG2
and TC39/TG3).
"The following organizations have participated in the work of ECMA
TC39/TG2 and TC39/TG3 and their contributions are gratefully
acknowledged:
Fujitsu Software, Hewlett-Packard, Intel Corporation,
International
Business Machines, ISE, Microsoft Corporation, Monash University,
Netscape, OpenWave, Plum Hall, Sun Microsystems"
