How do you propose to make OOo 100% compatible with MSO? The structure
of the files is closed so no one but MS has them. Reverse engineering
can only do so much. _IF_ MS used a published format that everyone could
access then it would be easy to do, but they don't.

But haven't Microsoft released specifications for their binary file
formats?

Just how accurate, complete or useful that information is, I have no idea.
As I am not a programming I do not know either. But with MS controlling
them there is not telling when those will change. As one of their
updates removed compatibility for older file formats. Which means
documents that the new programs will not open their on formats.
