Well... just an example: some time ago, the Open Document Format standard was created. OpenOffice uses it, and it is an ISO standard. But Microsoft, instead of start using it, designed its own "Open Office XML" and managed to make it an ISO standard too. So if you want to make a text editor, you must chose which one you will use... or you can use your own format... or you can make it compatible with both formats (but converting files from one format to the other one can be very difficult). I figure you can find examples of the same problem with anything related to computers. By the way, China uses its own calendar, and I am not talking about computers...
