Just read tonight an article in the Computerworld where MS are going to put their document formats up for ISO recognition (due to the Massachusetts city council saying they want their documents to be based on open standards).
thus the formats of documents will be much more open a other developers wil be able to create and access these with less problems than in the past. And maybe this will see true compatibility with MS document formats with open office in the future. Me thinks that open/free standards have just won another battle against the monolith. And well really it could reduce reliance on the MS office suite too for small medium business.
