Hi :)
Hmm, there are many reasons for preferring non-MS. Backwards compatibility is
just 1 of the issues. Current compatibility with it's own current formats is
another. A third is whether it's current formats work with non-MS products
that do follow the OOXML ISO standard.

Preferring MS or not, or any other format, isn't the point here.
It's accessing the old files regardless of format, which even LO appears
to be abandoning. You can't have it both ways, use ODT because the
standards will remain unchanged so old files can be accessed while
accepting a decision that prevents the accurate opening of the old files.
