Firstly Doc is used by many more normal 'office' users. So OpenOffice does have to support it to ease the migration. As for Microsoft supporting ODT, their primary aim is making money. Supporting a competing products' standard would not make much business sense in the short run. Benefits to the customer is not their prime concern, I guess. -- Cheers and Peace!
