If you take a look in the OpenOffice.org Wiki:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Roadmap
you will see that the MS Office12 Import Filter is included (MS Office12
is the old name for Office 2007)

It is also mentioned here:
http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS/entry/development_at_a_glance_weekly35

And... if you look here on the OpenOffice.org Wiki, there is some more
information:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/General#How_do_I_open_Microsoft_Office_2007_files.3F

The short answer is OpenOffice.org 3.0 will have import support.  If you
cannot wait until then, there are variants on OpenOffice.org that
already have (at least some) support for OOXML included.

As I understand it the default format for Office 2007 is .docx. OpenOffice
doesn't read or write that format, neither do earlier versions of Microsoft
Office.

However Office 2007 will save files to earlier, Office 2003 and before,
version of Microsoft files. Save the MS Office files in the earlier version
format and OpenOffice can read and edit them.
