Soren, do you have any hints on possible MS counterattack on this front?

Timeline in brief:

1) "The migration costs! Wait and time will solve everything."

2) "There is no problem with document standards. The real problem is backend system to system integration (SOA)."

3) "Microsoft Office Open XML is also an open standard. Please do no discriminate our open standard."

4) "ODF does not guarantee complete compatibility with the billions of millions of existing MSO documents"

5) "We support open standards - please use ours"

And of course various replays from the Massachusetts case.

I could comment on each of these but I guess it is obvious that MS is trying to move the focus of the discussion to anything but the core; Why is MS isolating itself instead of participating in open standardization processes and supporting vendor independent open standards?
