Hi,
people who want to have MS Office file formats as default storage format
can configure it within the dialog
/tools/options/load~save/general/
Please bear in mind that MS Office file formats are not OpenOffice's
generic formats. OpenOffice needs to import/export them and it's not
guaranteed that these formats are supported by 100 per cent. Using the
ODF file format loading and saving is always safer and faster.
The ODF format is used by millions of users worldwide not only by using
OpenOffice but by using a lot of other programs that make use of this
OASIS and ISO approved document format.

I think the idealism of the OOo community sometimes gets in the way of
progress. OO becoming more popular is more important than everyone using
the better file format. And if OO does become more popular, many people
will use the preferred format.
btw. OpenOffice is already a very popular product!
Kind regards, Joost
