Microsoft has always maintained that OOXML was for legacy documents and their upcoming support for ODF is consistent with that. After all, why would they care about the file format? It's the application that they sell - the file format(s) just come along for the ride.
Now all the talk is "bloated application blah blah blah..." - let's face it, some people wouldn't be happy even if Bill Gates personally gave them a footbath at their workstation each morning. The fact is that what Microsoft is doing will have a positive impact on unlocking data from documents. The nooxml crowd were wrong.
