Yeah, I can totally see the market strength of ODF-supporting office suites "retarding" the adoption of the Office 2007 file formats [1], particularly given that all (market-share relevant) previous versions of Microsoft Office are capable of reading and writing them. We're gonna make a *biiig* dent in that, so we should definitely inconvenience current and potential users of FLOSS products in the mean time. I mean, no one else is that bold! Who else would even come up with punching their *own users* in the face in order to artificially win the market high ground?
