IIRC US required some standards to buy software, and it was for this reason that windows is POSIX compatible (ok, it has the interface, but to much bugs to be useful). But why they don't required standard for office documents?
BTW the new POSIX will be very similar to SuS, so nearly impossible to have POSIX on any windows version. This means that US will no more buy windows OS?

POSIX in Windows Posted Sep 11, 2007 0:16 UTC (Tue) by pr1268 (subscriber, #24648) [Link] Don't count on it. <snide comment>Knowing Microsoft, they'll find a way to slap on a POSIX-compliance layer to add to the cruft of whatever version of Windows is current...</snide comment> ...Which is pretty much what they did to get existing/prior version of Windows into POSIX compliance.
