If M$ were to use the proper standard then I would have no problem with 
the OOXML usage.  The problem comes in when M$ uses their version 
instead of the standard, (see 
http://www.adjb.net/post/Microsoft-Fails-the-Standards-Test.aspx ). 
Reading the OPs links and following links from the different post leads 
to far more interesting reading.  It is funny that the Sun plugin for 
MSO had better support for ODF than the built-in support from M$.  M$ 
has no interest in any open format standard so they do everything, 
including sabotage to do away with them.

My 2cents.
