I think there is at least a 50:50 chance that MS will change its

Whole lot of "ifs" there Ian.
Yeah, but it's a domino effect. If MA moves to ODF. Every other
major player will support it as it will be easy for them to
implement. Other governments are already looking into it so then MA
will be a good model for them.
Discussions, thoughts and enquiries as to whether MSFT will support
OpenDocument and promoting OpenDocument to MSFT is not the purpose of
this and other OpenOffice.org lists.
Marketing OpenOffice.org to MA and other regions and sectors is the
purpose of this list.
