CC'ing the OP. Would also like to add that as long as MS Office continues to support the original file formats (.doc, .xls, and .ppt), there is no legitimate need for OpenOffice to save in the newer file formats (.docx, .xlsx, and .pptx).
It has been stated previously on this thread that developer resources are already scarce. Unless Microsoft decides to pull the plug on these older file formats, OpenOffice will continue to export them.
