Helo Of, 

I think you misunderstood, or maybe I wasn't clear enough; My suggestion was not
that at install time Openoffice should default to saving in MSO file formats. (I
do believe that users should easily be able to switch to a default behaviour of
saving in MSO file formats through a simple check box in the save dialogue, but
provided a notice in the save dialogue warns users against it).

My suggestion is simply that for any MSO file extension that OO can handle, but
is not already handled by an installed copy of MSO, the installer should, *by
default* - without the user having to make any settings changes, associate that
file type with OO. 

By extension of this, if the installed version of OO is old enough to not
support xlsx and docx, the OO installer should, by default, associate these 
with OO.

To put it another way, if a user has Microsoft Office installed on their system,
the user should need to click some check boxes at install time to tell the
installer they want Openoffice to become the default handler for the MSO file
types. If the user doesn't have Microsoft Office installed on their system, the
user should need to click some check boxes to tell the installer they *don't*
want OO to become the default handler for the file types. That way, I believe
the installer will guess what the user wants 90% of the time, and still give the
user complete control at install time.
