Computerworld reports thatthere were 3522 comments on the standard proposal (though many ofthese may be redundant or overlapping).

ECMA has posted a first list of 662 responses
http://www.ecma-international.org/news/TC45_current_work/First%20group%20of%20662%20proposed%20dispositions%20of%20comments%20posted.htm
which are by ISO's rules cirrently only accessible to the National Bodies.

The report is based on a blog entry by Brian Jones, a MSFT employee and the software companies' representative in the ECMA technical committee in charge of OOXML

who is sounding rather upbeat/positive about the comments.

There's a Slashdot discussion going on as well:
